The prenatal detection rate of CNS anomalies is very low. It is recognised that this is due to the fact that some of these anomalies are not evident until well into the third trimester or after birth, but also because ultrasound examination of the foetal CNS requires specific training ranging from the incorporation of knowledge of the most basic aspects of its anatomy, embryology and physiology to the most complex aspects of neurology and neurosurgery. All of these must be addressed and oriented in a particular way to specialists who are exclusively dedicated to ultrasound and foetal medicine.

All presentations are based on real clinical cases that serve to consolidate the learning of essential concepts. The classes consist of a video that can be accompanied by practical ultrasound demonstrations or explanations of the corresponding topics and PDF presentations. The teaching staff is made up of medical personnel from the Maternal-Fetal Medicine Service of the Hospital Clínic de Barcelona.
The presentation of the topics will be structured on the basis of problem solving through the essential theoretical content. The development of each topic will follow a clinical outline and will use images and videos. At the end of the presentations, the student can obtain a certificate of completion of the theoretical training and pass the knowledge acquisition test. Once the knowledge has been acquired and in order to obtain the certificate, a multiple-choice test must be taken. For the validation test you have 3 attempts and must answer 70% of the answers correctly. Each time you enter the test, even if you do not answer any questions, it counts as an attempt.
The student will have access from the moment he/she purchases the course until the deadline for the publication of the course.
