Patient's question:
Fetal left hydrocephalusDoctor's answer:
Hydrocephalus in the fetus depends on the standard. Normal lateral ventricle width is within 10mm and does not count as hydrocephalus. A width of 10-15mm is considered hydrocephalus. It can also be treated after birth. Some fetuses may absorb the hydrocephalus on their own after 31 weeks of pregnancy. Do not worry too much. Mild hydrocephalus can be monitored. If the hydrocephalus has not absorbed as the fetus grows, the doctor may advise you to have an abortion. If the hydrocephalus gradually disappears, you can continue the pregnancy.
