Patient's question:
First ultrasound: 20W+, bilateral posterior horn width of ventricles 0.6cm. Recommended follow-up in two weeks.Second ultrasound: 22W+, left posterior horn width of ventricle 1.0cm, choroid plexus appearing suspended. Please ask: What does a suspended choroid plexus mean?
Other ultrasound findings were normal. The doctor asked about the child's age and whether they had a cold initially, confirming, "There are some issues with the child now." I am wondering what a suspended choroid plexus means—is it hydrocephalus? How might the child be affected?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, currently her condition is more likely to be hydrocephalus. Since it cannot be seen, it cannot be 100% confirmed. It is still necessary to undergo relevant examinations in pediatric surgery or internal medicine. If necessary, hospitalization may be required. This requires a period of observation to determine whether a real problem exists. However, the possibility of hydrocephalus is higher.
