Malformations of cortical development: a case series of prenatal neurologic consultations and outcomes (P4.162)

Conclusions:The clinical presentation of these infants is on a spectrum of neurological issues, mostly in the severe category. Prenatal counseling includes cautious consideration of parental expectations, available long-term data on neurodevelopment and functional outcomes, limitations of neuroimaging and genetic testing, and critical decision making from both clinicians and families. Prenatal counselling needs to be individualized, based on associated anomalies and testing, for management during the perinatal period. Also it is extremely important to consider and discuss appropriate resuscitation measures and palliative care for the neonates, to provide support for the families through this extremely stressful period.Disclosure: Dr. Keller has nothing to disclose.
