Can fetal hydrocephalus be absorbed?

Patient's question:

Can fetal hydrocephalus be absorbed?

Doctor's answer:

Analysis of the condition: Mild fetal hydrocephalus can be absorbed.
Guidance: During the rapid growth period of the fetus, the development of the fetal brain may sometimes be faster than that of the cerebral aqueduct system. When the amount of cerebrospinal fluid produced in the brain significantly exceeds the circulatory capacity of the aqueduct system, mild expansion of the ventricular system may occur. If an examination is performed at this time, the measured values may be larger, and it will recover on its own after some time. This is a false positive, and it generally resolves on its own.
