Is it possible to have widening of the lateral ventricles before birth but be healthy after birth?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, if the width of the lateral ventricle does not exceed 1.5 cm, it is usually not a problem. The baby can absorb it on its own. If it exceeds, the baby may have severe hydrocephalus, which can affect intellectual development and cannot be treated.
