title: Prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies. What can and should be done?
abstract: Prenatal diagnosis of congenital anomalies provides an opportunity to prepare and counsel parents. It can lead to pregnancy termination; to a change in timing, mode, or location of delivery; or, in some cases, to prenatal intervention. Families with an affected fetus are best managed by a cohesive medical team. This article outlines the principles used to manage these cases.
