      La médecine foetale réalise une synthèse du savoir et des moyens de chacun des spécialistes au service d'un enfant à naître porteur d'une pathologie.Si chaque spécialiste a une connaissance approfondie d'un type de pathologie, cela ne suffit pourtant pas pour l'appréhender correctement car il faut l'inscrire dans le contexte du foetus. Les explorations prénatales sont donc spécifiques à la médecine foetale : prélèvements, imagerie, biologie, génétique. Cette 2e édition rassemble pour l'obstétricien, l'échographiste, le pédiatre, le généticien et la sage-femme, la majorité des anomalies et pathologies pouvant être décelées lors de la grossesse et s'enrichit de nouvelles techniques et connaissances en diagnostic prénatal. Les auteurs évoquent pour chaque groupe de pathologies les moyens à mettre en oeuvre pour évaluer le pronostic, optimiser l'accueil de l'enfant et dans certains cas traiter in utero.
