Patient's question:
A pregnant woman had a four-dimensional ultrasound and found that the left ventricle of her brain was slightly wider. She is 25 weeks and 5 days pregnant. The detailed examination results showed that the left ventricle was 10mm and the right ventricle was 7mm. She is wondering what the problem is and what needs to be done to resolve it.Doctor's answer:
Specifically, when the fetus grows and develops to around 29 weeks and 1 day, the width of the bilateral lateral ventricles and the posterior fossa cisterns may sometimes be slightly wider than the prenatal state, so they will never be too tight. A follow-up ultrasound should be conducted two weeks later. If there is no widening or relief in the bilateral ventricles, the second ventricle, and the posterior fossa cisterns, the majority of pregnant women will decide to continue normal delivery. If there is a significant widening, caution must be exercised. The condition detected by 4D ultrasound is very serious. It is recommended that the patient receive timely symptomatic treatment and hope that the patient can follow the doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
