[Management of fetal abnormalities].
Appropriate management of fetal malformations needs confirmation by a tertiary center and search for associated abnormalities and further investigations oriented to causal and prognostic factors. Therapeutic decisions are taken by a multidisciplinary term: pregnancy termination, maternal transfer to a tertiary center, premature delivery or cesarean extraction. Some malformations require immediate surgical treatments, others can be followed up and later corrected. Intrauterine treatments are nowadays evaluated, such as chronic derivations, operative fetoscopy or open fetal surgery. In case of fetal death, a post mortem examination must be performed in order to improve genetic counseling.
