Patient's question:
I am already 22 weeks pregnant, so I recently had a routine ultrasound to check if the baby is developing normally. The detailed examination revealed a cyst in the baby's brain. What should I do about the cyst detected in the baby's brain during the 22-week ultrasound? The kind of help I need: What should I do about the cyst detected in the baby's brain during the 22-week ultrasound?Doctor's answer:
At 22 weeks pregnant, a cyst has reappeared. This cannot be treated because the baby has not been born yet. Treatment can only be postponed until after the baby is born. The recurrence of the cyst in the fetus may be due to the mother not paying attention. To prevent squeezing and avoid transmission, you can apply erythromycin ointment for redness, swelling, and pain. If there are no symptoms, surgical treatment can be considered. If the baby is too young to undergo surgery, the surgery can be postponed.
