Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I am 27 weeks pregnant. Yesterday's ultrasound showed a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the fetal posterior fossa. Will this affect my child's intelligence in the future? I am very anxious and look forward to your reply!!!!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
This situation depends on how many weeks the child has been pregnant. If the gestational age is still early, it needs to be monitored. If this value does not increase, it is generally not affected. If it exceeds this value significantly, it is affected. Currently, this value is between normal and abnormal. The specific prognosis depends on whether this value is increasing. The normal values for the lateral ventricle and posterior fossa width are less than 10 mm. In your case, it is necessary to have regular follow-up to determine the situation. Sometimes, physiological reasons can also cause this phenomenon, and sometimes, abnormalities can lead to this condition.
