Abstract

The aim of this review is to emphasize the role of fetal MR in the evaluation of the supratentorial space. The advantages of MRI compared to US are stressed in three fields of application: cerebral biometry, sulcation and cerebral parenchyma. In each field, normal data are displayed and MR applications with patterns of the main pathologies are briefly described.
