Patient's question:
Patient Gender: I am 27 weeks pregnant. Yesterday's ultrasound showed a small amount of cerebrospinal fluid in the posterior fossa of the fetus. Will this affect my child's intelligence in the future? I am very anxious and looking forward to your reply!!!!!!!!!Doctor's answer:
This situation depends on how many weeks the child has been gestating. If the gestational age is still early, it will need to be monitored. If this value does not increase, it is generally not affected. If it exceeds this value significantly, it is likely to be 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, regular follow-up is necessary to determine the situation. Sometimes, physiological reasons can also cause this phenomenon, and sometimes abnormalities can lead to this condition.
