Cortical folding alterations in fetuses with isolated non-severe ventriculomegaly.

Neuroimaging of brain diseases plays a crucial role in understanding brain abnormalities and early diagnosis. Of great importance is the study of brain abnormalities in utero and the assessment of deviations in case of maldevelopment. In this work, brain magnetic resonance images from 23 isolated no...
