STEWART, C J M. How to care for fetuses with prenatally diagnosed severe abnormalities. SAJOG [online]. 2022, vol.28, n.2, pp.62-65. ISSN 2305-8862.  http://dx.doi.org/10.7196/sajog.2022.v28i2.2013.

Ultrasound in pregnancy has become standard of care, resulting in an increased number of antenatally diagnosed fetal anomalies. It is important to have a consistent approach to the management of these abnormalities. This may include offering termination of pregnancy, standard care or non-aggressive/palliative care. A categorisation of anomalies and management options is proposed to assist with these decisions, underpinned by an ethical framework.
