Fetal hydrocephalus, 8 months pregnant

Patient's question:

I went to the hospital for a check-up. The doctor said my amniotic fluid was excessive, with the maximum amniotic fluid dark area being 9.7 cm, the amniotic fluid index being 22 cm, the biparietal diameter being 8.9 cm, the left lateral ventricle separation of the fetus, the body width being approximately 15.7 mm, and the posterior angle width being approximately 13.7 mm.

Doctor's answer:

Hydrocephalus in the fetus is mostly caused by developmental abnormalities of the fetal brain and skull. There are many reasons for fetal malformations, mainly related to genetics, environment, food, drugs, viral infections, etc.
It is recommended to identify the cause under the guidance of a treating physician and eliminate the factors that lead to fetal malformations.
