| Factor | thalamus volume |
| Description | The decrease was largest in frontal lobes volume, followed by total intracranial volume and cerebellar volume, and the smallest decrease was in thalamus volume (P<0.05). |
| Biomarker | NA |
| Classification | E11 (physiological factor - physical sign) |

| p Value | <0.05 |
| Conclusion | The volume of intracranial structures is smaller in fetuses with CHD, particularly in those with HLHS, aortic hypoplasia or TGA. This study highlights the need for routine brain screening and early intervention to improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in fetuses with CHD. |
