Patient's question:
System ultrasound of the left ventricle of the brain is 0.7. It is recommended to do a color Doppler ultrasound of the brain. The obstetrician said that if it widens further, it will be suspected of hydrocephalus and recommends amniocentesis or non-invasive DNA testing. I searched online and found that as long as it is less than 1, it is normal. Should I do an amniocentesis?Doctor's answer:
Gestational age? It's possible to continue close monitoring, as even an amniocentesis cannot guarantee the exclusion of fetal abnormalities. Non-invasive testing is now explicitly prohibited by the national regulations for clinical use, so it's unlikely that any hospital would perform it for you.
