ABSTRACT In the last 20 years, the role of first-trimester ultrasound screening has expanded from individual calculation of the risk of aneuploidy through measurement of the nuchal translucency to a powerful technique to evaluate important aspects of the fetal anatomy. Traditionally, the full anatomy scan for detection of structural anomalies has been performed in the second trimester of pregnancy. However, with the implementation of the first-trimester scan at 11 to 13 weeks of gestation many of the structural anomalies traditionally detected in the second trimester can now be identified earlier in pregnancy. In the first part of this review we discuss the main ultrasound findings that may facilitate the prenatal detection of fetal brain, face and neck abnormalities in the first trimester of pregnancy.
