This article focuses on the sonographic examination technique for evaluation of intracranial translucencies during the first trimester scan. Appropriate knowledge of the sonographic landmarks is the most important factor for evaluating normal as well as abnormal brain structure, and this examination may enable detection of open spina bifida at an early stage of fetal development.
