This book is about prenatal screening for Down syndrome and
other aneuploidies. Medical advances have not only improved the
efficacy of prenatal screening but have also introduced new complexities.
Staying up-to-date with ever-evolving guidelines and
recommendations has become an indispensable part of clinical
practice. Over the years, I have noticed a worrisome trend: as prenatal
screening guidelines get revised, the recommendations tendto become increasingly vague. It is possible that this is influenced by the rising interference by the law in medical practice.
This book is meant for every obstetrician and fetal medicine specialist to be kept in their clinic like the owner’s manual kept in the glove box of their car. In case the red engine light starts blink
ing, you should be able to reach out to a specific section quickly and know how to proceed. Despite referring to numerous guidelines and papers published across the world, I have tried to provide clear pragmatic solutions and management options throughout this book.
The role of the fetal medicine specialist is a strange one. On one hand, he must attempt to pick up all possible findings in the fetus. On the other hand, he must then be able to convince the parents that many of the findings he has picked up are normal variations. Striking this delicate balance becomes increasingly challenging amidst the deluge of digital information available today.
