Abstract
Fetal Therapy is defines as a therapeutic intervention for the purpose of correcting or treating a fetal anomaly or condition. Medical fetal therapy describes any therapy in which a pharmacological agent is administered to a woman or her fetus in order to avoid or alleviate fetal disease. Treatment of the fetus with blood products or injection of other agents can also be considered to be medical fetal therapy. In almost every case, the fetus is at risk of intrauterine death from the abnormality [1]. It is the “operative branch” of fetal medicine. It includes a series of interventions performed on the “sick” fetus with the aim of achieving fetal well being. These interventions include medical (i.e. non-invasive) and surgical procedures [2]. The field of medical fetal therapy has been extremely exciting and continues to evolve at a rapid pace. No doubt, future advances involving genetic manipulation or the use of molecular genetic techniques for diagnosis will continue to keep this field at the forefront of treatment and prevention of fetal disorders.
