Fetal Medicine and Genetics

This book is a comprehensive guide to foetal medicine and genetics for postgraduate medical students. It is also a useful reference guide for practising obstetricians wishing to keep up to date with the latest developments in the field.

The first section provides an overview of preconception care, screening for foetal aneuploidies (missing chromosomes), and general imaging.

The second part of the book covers genetic testing, common foetal abnormalities, infections, diagnostic procedures and therapy, concluding with a chapter on stillbirth and foetal autopsy.

Authored by experts in the field, this book provides an amalgamation of both basic and advanced topics.

Two quizzes are included to help students test their knowledge, as well as multiple, up-to-date references for further reading.
