As a partnership between UCI Health and CHOC, The Fetal Care Center of Southern California brings together experts in maternal-fetal medicine and pediatrics, so both mom and baby are cared for—no matter the diagnosis. We partner with a patient’s obstetrician (OB), perinatologist and delivery hospital for continuity of care.
We commonly treat:
- Agenesis of the corpus callosum
- Amniotic band syndrome
- Anorectal malformations, including imperforate anus
- Aortic stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis
- Arachnoid cysts and brain cysts
- Atrioventricular canal defects
- Bladder exstrophy
- Brain and spinal vascular malformations
- Brain tumors
- Bronchial atresia, bronchopulmonary sequestration and congenital lobar emphysema
- Bronchogenic cyst
- Cardiac masses and tumors
- Cardiomyopathy (enlarged or thickened heart)
- Cervical teratoma
- Choledochal cyst
- Chromosome anomalies including Trisomy 13, Trisomy 18 and Trisomy 21 (Down syndrome)
- Cleft lip and palate

- Colonic atresia
- Congenital cytomegalovirus infection
- Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH)
- Congenital goiter
- Congenital hemangioma with airway compromise

- Congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM)
- Conjoined twins
