About the conference
A Comprehensive Approach to Fetal Central Nervous System Diagnostics

We invite you to participate in a two-day international conference entirely devoted to fetal neurosonography – one of the most demanding and rapidly developing fields of prenatal diagnostics. The event is aimed at physicians wishing to deepen their knowledge, consolidate their skills, and work in accordance with the highest international standards.

The conference constitutes an advanced substantive training focused on the practical aspects of neurosonographic examination and the interpretation of complex clinical cases, including an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the perspective of clinical genetics.

Waldemar Krzeszowski konferencja ginekologiczna 2026

Dr Waldemar Krzeszowski

Lodz
Lecturer bio

Specialist in foetal therapy and invasive diagnostics, graduate of the Medical University of Łódź.

Dr Waldemar Krzeszowski is an expert in foetal therapy and invasive diagnostics. His clinical practice focuses on advanced diagnostic procedures such as amniocentesis, chorionic villus sampling, and cordocentesis, enabling detailed genetic assessment of the foetus. He also specialises in the diagnosis and monitoring of pregnancies complicated by intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), as well as in the identification and treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections during pregnancy. As a pioneer in Poland, he introduced combination therapy using valacyclovir and specific anti-CMV immunoglobulins. His areas of interest also include the diagnosis of endometriosis, in particular its deeply infiltrating form (DIE).

He is an active lecturer and trainer in the fields of foetal ultrasonography, echocardiography, and neurosonography – both in Poland and abroad. He collaborates with leading medical centres worldwide, including those in Tel Aviv, Leuven, and London.
