This is a descriptive cross-sectional study 300 patients coming for antenatal care at sohag governorate undergo mid anatomical scan. Samples 300 pregnant women have mid anatomical scan at 20-22 weeks as routine antenatal care and Examination of the fetal CNS will be performed with a high resolution two dimensional ultrasound machine (Voluson E8) equipped with a RAB 4 to 8MHz multifrequency transabdominal Probe. Four standard recommended views-transventricular, falx, cavum, and posterior fossa or transcerebellar views-provide an overview of fetal intracranial anatomy during the second trimester anatomy scan. Follow-up information will be obtained in all cases, and all infants will be considered healthy by pediatric examination. In selected cases, postnatal single-shot fast spin-echo magnetic resonance (MR) imaging will be performed as integrated, complementary investigation.to confirm diagnosis.

Accuracy of sonography in the diagnosis of neurological fetal anomalies
Investigator compares the accuracy of songraphy in the diagnosis of neurological fetal anomalies with post natal diagnosis by either clinically or by MRIThis is a descriptive cross-sectional study 2- Study Setting: 300 patients coming for antenatal care at sohag governorate undergo mid anatomical scanExamination of the fetal CNS will be performed with a high resolution two dimintional ultrasound machine (Voluson E8) equipped with a RAB 4 to 8MHz multifrequency transabdominal Probe. Four standard recommended views-transventricular, falx, cavum, and posterior fossa or transcerebellar views-provide an overview of fetal intracranial anatomy during the second trimester anatomy scan. After birth ,investigator reports anomalies clinically or after consultation of pediatric department.
Time frame: From 20 _ 22 gestational age ...confirmation occursat birth till 1 week post natal
