Abstract: In spite of ultrasound important role in human imaging especially to obestrics examination, power of ultrasound increased exponential with development of equipment their boost dose to fetuses and raise the probability of biological damage. This experimental study is to evaluate the brain histopathology of albino rat fetuses after being exposed to ultrasound in utero at late gestation period of (17, 18, 19, 20, 21) day. Control against exposed groups is used in this study with fixed ultrasound exposure parameter for 40 minutes. Result from this study found that exposed group show multiple differentiation between two groups like disorganization of cortical and medulla, edema, hemorrhage and dis arrangement of white and grey matter of brain tissue. From this experiment results ultrasound may cause deleterious effect of brain tissue of developing fetuses during late gestation period.
