Abstract

Percutaneous fetal ventriculography, performed with a needle placed through the maternal abdomen into the fetal skull, was readily carried out. Nitrous oxide gas was used to replace the progressively evacuated ventricular fluid and afforded contrast by which to gauge the degree of pressure damage to the fetal cortex. The latter should have a thickness of at least 1 cm to warrant attempts at fetal salvage.
