Objectives To determine to what extent the peri‐ and intraventricular areas of the fetal brain can be visualized in coronal and sagittal planes using high‐frequency transvaginal ultrasound. Design In a longitudinal study, fetuses of 30 low‐risk pregnancies were studied at 26, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36 w...
