Anomaly Scan

When can I have the anomaly scan?

The anomaly scan is performed between 20-24 weeks of gestation.

What does the anomaly scan check for?

During the scan we examine each part of the fetal body, determine the position of the placenta, assess the amount of amniotic fluid, and measure fetal growth. Special attention is paid to the brain, face, spine, heart, stomach, bowel, kidneys, and limbs. The main purpose of the anomaly scan is to assess the pregnancy thoroughly and determine the presence of any rare conditions including those of the brain, spine, and heart. You can also request to know the gender of the baby at this scan.

If any abnormalities are detected the significance of the findings will be discussed and you will have further counselling with Dr Tezcan

How is the anomaly scan performed?

The anomaly scan is performed trans-abdominally which means over the tummy.

Why do I need to have the anomaly scan?

This is an important detailed scan that is performed to examine each part of the fetal body and to check for any abnormalities.
