As part of the national screening programme, fetal anomaly screening is offered by the NHS to all women expecting a baby in the UK. The identification of suspected fetal anomalies causes stress and anxiety in the expectant parents. Therefore, a thorough understanding of the issues as described can help alleviate this to a degree. This problem-based review presents two case histories describing issues encountered during first and second trimester screening, and principles behind subsequent management. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
