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. Requested to schedule a consultation with a director in two weeks.
Question: What does "choroid plexus appearing suspended" mean?
Additional information for the first question: Other ultrasound findings were normal. The doctor asked about the child's age and whether they had a cold initially, confirming, "There seems to be an issue with the child now." I am asking what "choroid plexus appearing suspended" means—is it hydrocephalus? What might happen to the child?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, fetal choroid plexus anechoic area, this condition should be considered as choroid plexus cysts. Choroid plexus cysts refer to scattered small cysts with a diameter of greater than or equal to 3mm found in the lateral ventricle of the fetus during development at 12-24 weeks of gestation. Most of them will disappear around 26 weeks of pregnancy. Only a small number will progressively grow. It is recommended to continue monitoring. Because if it cannot be seen, it cannot be 100% confirmed, and it is still necessary to undergo relevant examinations in pediatric surgery or internal medicine. Then, hospitalization may be required if necessary.
