Medicina Fetal – Diagnóstico Pr-Natal e Conduta: A Comprehensive Guide

By Eduardo Valente Isfer, this second edition of Medicina Fetal – Diagnóstico Pr-Natal e Conduta is a thoroughly revised and updated version, offering a more comprehensive and extensive guide than its predecessor. It features contributions from a highly selected group of Brazilian and international professionals.

This book is divided into 20 sections, starting with the history of fetal medicine in Brazil, followed by embryology, anatomy, and physiology of the fetus and placenta, epidemiological and genetic aspects of fetal anomalies, recurrent fetal loss, and diagnostic procedures, both invasive and non-invasive. It also covers specific sections on congenital malformations, genetic and non-genetic pathologies, twinning, congenital infections, fetal viability, and fetal clinical and surgical therapy. Finally, it addresses neonatal aspects, anatomopathological examination of the fetus and placenta, psychological aspects, and ethical aspects of fetal medicine.

This multidisciplinary scientific work aims not only to highlight the fetus as a “true patient” but also to show the sensitive side of dealing with situations of great medical and emotional complexity, both for the family and the medical team.
