Anomalías genitales: contextualización de un campo olvidado en el diagnóstico prenatal
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.18597/rcog.3446Resumen
Objetivo: hacer una reflexión sobre el bajo desarrollo que hay actualmente en el campo del diagnóstico prenatal de las anomalías genitales. Materiales y métodos: a partir de la tesis de que el desarrollo del diagnóstico antenatal de las anomalías genitales es escaso, se presenta una comparación con el estado actual de otros campos del diagnóstico prenatal, así como con su contrapartida posnatal; se analizan las distintas causas que pueden haber llevado a esta situación, y se reflexiona sobre formas de mejora de la especialidad. Conclusión: en comparación con otras áreas del diagnóstico prenatal, la detección de anomalías genitales tiene un menor nivel de desarrollo en cuanto a la disponibilidad de herramientas diagnósticas, de protocolos de manejo o investigación clínica. Algunas causas probables son una impresión de baja prevalencia, una importancia limitada o las dificultades para su exploración. Una forma de reforzar este componente de la medicina fetal sería la integración del conocimiento actual, la adquisición de herramientas adecuadas, y una traslación a la medicina clínica.
