This module of 4 lectures with discussions dealt over five to six hours, is prepared to help understand the anatomy and pathology of the fetal brain. A large number of anomalies have been included in the lectures to enhance the expertise of the participant. Fetal MRI has been included wherever necessary to emphasize normal or abnormal findings. The genetic basis and the investigations necessary are an integral part of the discussion.
