Zusammenfassung

Durch pränatalmedizinische Diagnostik werden zahlreiche Schwangere – meistens Monate vor dem errechneten Geburtstermin – mit dem Vorliegen lebensbedrohlicher oder die nachgeburtliche Lebensqualität ihrer Ungeborenen erheblich beeinträchtigender Erkrankungen konfrontiert. Diese Problematik hat über die letzten Jahrzehnte zahlreiche Wissenschaftler dazu inspiriert, chirurgische und medikamentöse Therapien zur Verbesserung der Prognose betroffener Ungeborener zu entwickeln. Während sich die chirurgischen Therapien noch größtenteils im Experimentalstadium befinden und nur an einzelnen Zentren durchgeführt werden, sind die medikamentösen Therapien aufgrund ihrer häufigeren Verwendung, ihrer weiten Verbreitung und ihres dokumentierten therapeutischen Vorteils schon nahezu als etablierte Verfahren anzusehen. Das Kapitel gibt eine kurze Übersicht über Indikationen, rationale und derzeitig durchgeführte vorgeburtliche Behandlungsmöglichkeiten.
