✨The importance of Congenital Anomaly Scan(CAS)✨
A congenital anomaly scan, also known as a fetal anomaly scan or level 2 ultrasound, is a detailed ultrasound examination performed during pregnancy to detect potential birth defects or congenital anomalies in the fetus. This scan typically occurs between 24 to 26 weeks of gestation.
The scan assesses various fetal structures, including:
➡️ Brain and skull
➡️ Face
➡️ Heart
➡️ Spine
➡️Limbs
➡️Kidneys
➡️Abdomen
It helps identify potential issues, such as:
1. Heart defects
2. Neural tube defects (e.g., spina bifida)
3. Cleft lip/palate
4. Limb abnormalities
5. Kidney problems
Early detection enables better prenatal care, planning, and decision-making
