Patient's question:
Doctor, please help me take a look at this ultrasound report. A single fetal echo was detected within the uterus. The fetal head was located above the pubis, with a complete cranial bone halo, a centrally positioned midline, and no dilatation of the lateral ventricles. The biparietal diameter was 8.1 cm, the spine was aligned properly, the fetal heart rate was regular, and the fetal heart rate was approximately 146 beats per minute. The femur length was 6.1 cm. Amniotic fluid index: 17 cm, maximum depth: 7.4 cm. The placenta was located at the fundus of the uterus, with a maturity grade of I+. Color Doppler flow showed no significant abnormalities. Umbilical artery S/D: 2.60.What I don’t understand is, "no dilatation of the lateral ventricles" – is this normal? Does everything look normal overall?
Doctor's answer:
Hello, according to the examination results you sent, the lateral ventricles are not dilated, which indicates normality. Please increase your nutrition, get adequate rest, and continue with regular prenatal check-ups as scheduled. It is recommended to consume a high-protein diet and more nuts in your daily meals.
