Abstract

Newer development in ultrasound diagnostics, especially applying three and four dimensional ultrasound techniques in the daily routine has made it possible to examine normal and abnormal structure and movement of the fetal face. It seems that this entirely uninvestigated field could provide useful new information about the function of the fetal brain, since the face is considered to be a mirror of the brain. In this review the results made in the last few years, mostly done by the Zagreb group of investigators, but also by the others published so far are presented.
