AB KEY  POINTSTwo-and  three-dimensional  fetal  and  neonatal  neurosonography  is  an  informative,  noninvasive,  and  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  2D  and  3D  ultrasound  tools  as  well  as  the  sonographic  landmarks  of  the  normal  developing  embryonic  and  fetal  CNS  and  also  suggests  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.Unlike  in  our  third  edition,  we  have  integrated  the  previously  separate  sections  dealing  with  the  2D  and  the  3D  fetal  brain  anatomy.  We  believe  they  are  inseparable,  and  both  are  necessary  to  understand  the  development  and  pathologies  of  the  fetal  brain.
