Support research and initiatives for Fetal Therapy

Diagnostic Fetoscopy

Fetal and Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia (NAIT or FNAIT), occurs in approximately 1:1000 to 1:10,000 births.

This condition results from the presence of maternal antibodies against paternal platelet antigen (Human Placental Antigen, HPA-1a).

Although most fetal disorders can be assessed with ultrasound or fetal MRI, endoscopic assessment of the fetus or amniotic cavity may be necessary for certain conditions. Diagnostic fetoscopy, perfected by the physicians at The Fetal Institute, can be offered to confirm or rule out certain disorders. The procedure is done at the Hospital in the main operating room.
