The central nervous system is probably the most elaborate and intricate organ or system in the human body. Minute structural abnormalities can, at times, reflect major functional deficiencies. On the other hand, it would appear that at times major anatomic defects do not seem to be associated with significantly deviant function. It is extremely important to study and understand the normal and abnormal fetal and neonatal central nervous system. The central nervous system is one of the common sites of anatomical malformation in the fetus with chromosomal abnormality. The detection of anomalies within the fetal and neonatal brain is feasible using modern imaging techniques, such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
