Question : Hi doc..i am on my pregnancy 20weeks 5days.yesterday had my anomaly scan and i was told that there is a mild prominence in left lateral ventricle of fetus(8.3mm).i am so worried.. is it a major problem.
Brief Answer:
it has to be followed up with scans
Detailed Answer:
hello,
Thanks for contacting HCM,
A left lateral ventricle prominence of 8.3 mm is mild at the oment and have to be followed up with 3 monthly scans to look for development of any hydrocephalus or choroid plexus prominence.
There is nothing much which can be done at the moment but just follow up ,
