Clinical outcome of mild fetal ventriculomegaly

Abstract

Mild cerebral ventriculomegaly should prompt targeted ultrasonographic examination, inclusive of markers of aneuploidies, visualization of the corpus callosum, and echocardiogram as well as serologic evaluation for congenital infections. In isolated mild cerebral ventriculomegaly genetic counseling should take into account clinical, laboratory, and ultrasonographic findings. A review of the published series suggests that cognitive or motor delay is predominantly mild and that it occurs in about 9% of cases of isolated mild cerebral ventriculomegaly.
