AB Key  PointsNeurosonography  of  the  fetus  and  the  neonate  is  an  informative  and  noninvasive  as  well  as  inexpensive  modality  that  is  of  great  benefit  in  clinical  diagnosis.As  technology  improves  and  our  understanding  of  sonoanatomy  of  the  fetal  and  neonatal  brain  widens,  the  distinction  between  normal  and  abnormal,  as  far  as  anatomy  is  concerned,  becomes  increasingly  possible.Anomalies  and  disease  of  the  developing  brain  area  are  common.  In  order  to  diagnose  a  deviation  from  what  is  normal,  it  is  important  to  understand  and  recognize  the  developmental  milestones  of  the  normal  brain  how  it  grows,  and  matures,  reaching  its  almost  final  anatomy  at  birth.This  chapter  presents  the  sonographic  landmarks  of  developing  embryonic  and  fetal  CNS  and  also  suggested  new  ways  to  study  it  systematically.The  introduction  of  TVS  in  fetal  neurosonography  adds  an  additional  powerful  tool  to  the  diagnostic  algorithm,  increasing  diagnostic  precision  in  patients  suspected  of  an  anatomically  abnormal  fetal  CNS.In  the  future,  2D  as  well  as  3D  fetal  neurosonography  will  be  used  routinely  in  all  pregnant  patients  to  examine  the  developing  brain,  the  same  way  we  now  examine  other  fetal  organs  and  organ  systems.
