In questo lavoro, sulla base della nuova classificazione di Van der Knapp e Valk, sono state trattate le malformazioni congenite del Sistema Nervoso Centrale diagnosticabili nel feto e nel neonato con l'ecotomografia. Particolare attenzione è stata rivolta alla precisa caratterizzazione semeiologica di ciascuna malformazione nel tentativo di puntualizzare gli elementi necessari per una corretta diagnosi differenziale ecotomografica.
