Can a fetus with hydrocephalus recover and still be viable?

Patient's question:

At 21 weeks, there was detected 0.9 cm of accumulation. At 29 weeks, the right ventricle measured 1.3 cm, and the left ventricle measured 1.2 cm. By 31 weeks, the right ventricle width was 0.8 cm, and the left ventricle width was 0.6 cm. Can the child be kept? Will the accumulation grow in the future? What are the effects?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, your situation is that the lateral ventricle of the fetus has temporarily widened during pregnancy. So far, this value has returned to the normal range. This child can use this condition because the current results are normal and should not affect the child's brain development. Therefore, it is necessary to have regular follow-up after delivery. If this value does not increase, there will be no problem. You need to pay more attention to a healthy diet.
