Pregnant for four and a half months, a cyst was found in the fetal intracranial cavity. Can the fetus still be retained?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Hello, generally, in the late stage of pregnancy, the separation of the lateral ventricles should not exceed 12mm, which is considered normal. The current condition can be monitored first, and it is within the normal range. If it exceeds 16mm, it indicates hydrocephalus, which can affect the intellectual development of the fetus. If necessary, induction of labor can be considered as a treatment.
