Abstract
One of possible applications of four-dimensional sonography is analysis of fetal behaviour in order to reach assessment of functional development of CNS as measure of neurological maturation. Patterns of fetal behaviour in fetuses¬ with normal growth and development show aberrations regarding time and frequency of appearances in anencephalic or growth retarded fetuses and fetuses from mother with diabetes mellitus type I. In times to come, it will be shown how high is disproportion between our hypothesis and real possibilities of four-dimensional sonography regarding analysis of fetal behaviour.
