The pregnancy test revealed that the baby has ventriculomegaly. Should it be aborted or born?

Many pregnant mothers find that the fetal lateral ventricles are enlarged during pregnancy check-ups. Then we have to look at the degree of enlargement. Generally, if the width is less than 13mm, we will observe it first. Maybe This is because the fetus's spinal canal is not fully developed, resulting in poor cerebrospinal fluid return. A reexamination after two or three weeks will reveal that the lateral ventricular enlargement data has become smaller, indicating that it is being absorbed. Continue to observe. If it is found that the widening data has become larger than 15mm, then you should consider whether there is hydrocephalus and do further examination. If the reexamination finds that there is progressive widening, you should consider terminating the pregnancy!

Let me tell you about my own pregnancy experience to answer your question. I think this depends on the specific numerical range and the doctor’s opinion.

My son was found out when he was about 24 weeks old. For lateral ventricular enlargement, 1.0 on one side and 0.9 on the other side are considered critical values. As a mother, I am very troubled because I have already experienced the critical value of NT2.8, and now I have lateral ventricular enlargement, which makes me unable to sleep at night with anxiety.

During the prenatal check-up, I was eager for the doctor to give me an accurate answer. The director of perinatal care just said that we can only observe the critical value. If it continues to widen, we will make further judgments. If it does not change, it is If it's a constant value, don't worry about it.

Even though I was asked to observe, I was not idle. I searched everywhere online and asked everywhere, just like you now, I hope to see good results. I continued to observe this until I was born, and this didn't change. The doctor said it was fine. Seeing that I was still anxious, she said, you should give birth with peace of mind first, and then go to the children's hospital for a follow-up intracranial B-ultrasound after the confinement. After the baby was born, everything was normal and lively. When he was one month old, he went for a B-ultrasound, which showed that the absorption had begun to decrease.

So, if your blood pressure exceeds the critical value, follow the doctor’s advice and do an MRI to rule out the brain. Water accumulation, if it is below the critical value, observe it. There is no use in being anxious.

Let’s talk about our family’s experience. My sister-in-law was pregnant. Every time she took a pregnancy test five or six months later, she said her head was too big. She had to be careful because she was afraid it might be a big-headed baby. She was also worried about it, and at one point she couldn’t bear it. I was worried about whether I should have this child, but then I thought about it and had a check-up. There was no other medical history in both families, and the baby was born anyway. The result was very healthy. The baby's head was just too big to begin with. It is not easy for women to get pregnant. I wish you a good pregnancy.

Hello, fetal ventriculomegaly is detected during pregnancy. This is usually measured by B-ultrasound in the middle and late stages of pregnancy. As for whether to abort or give birth, this issue should be considered together. How much wider? Are you cooperating with other inspections?

First, let’s take a look, what is ventriculomegaly?

The normal ventricular width is less than 10 mm, with an average of 7 mm. If it exceeds 10 mm, it means ventriculomegaly! Generally speaking, if it is less than 15 mm, it is considered mild, and if it exceeds 15 mm, it is considered hydrocephalus. Therefore, it is necessary to determine whether the fetus has mild or severe disease.

Is ventriculomegaly harmful?

Ventriculomegaly is an abnormality of the central nervous system, which can lead to poor fetal brain development. If the ultrasound examination confirms the diagnosis of ventricular enlargement, it must be further confirmed with genetic markers and other malformation examinations!

If it is finally determined that the fetus has severe ventriculomegaly, it is congenital hydrocephalus, and may be accompanied by other chromosomal abnormalities.

Then the only way is to go to the hospital for induction of labor as soon as possible!

I am a pioneer in child care. I hope my answer will be helpful to you!

This is my personal experience and I would like to share it with you.

I was in the ICU due to morning sickness in the early stages of pregnancy and then decided to have this little baby, so I had my pregnancy done in the hospital at 27 weeks. I went to have a four-dimensional scan to eliminate malformations.

The four-dimensional scan showed that my baby was too small, and the other one was that the width of the lateral ventricle was 0.93 and 0.91. I was asked to go to a higher-level hospital for further examination. I was anxious and crying. Later, I brought it to the chief doctor and b

The super doctor looked at it and said it was not the case, because there is a critical value of 1 that you haven’t reached yet, and many babies will absorb it on their own in the later stage. Although the doctor said He said that he was also afraid, and when he had a check-up after 30 weeks, he didn’t even mention it. I asked the ultrasound doctor, and he told me that if he didn’t mention it, it would be fine. He also had a bad attitude, so my lateral ventricle was slightly wider. The problem is over. Many mothers should not worry. Most babies will be fine.

If it is less than 1, there is no need to worry. There is a possibility that the baby will absorb it on its own. Generally, if it is more than 1.5, the diagnosis of cerebral palsy can be confirmed. Hydrocephalus, because this is my personal experience

Last year, when I was 37 weeks pregnant, my child was diagnosed with enlargement of the left and right ventricles, 1.8 on one side and 2.3 on the other. Peking Union Medical College Hospital diagnosed hydrocephalus, and later became cruel. No, we can’t let him come to this world to suffer.

You have to look at the numerical value for ventriculomegaly. I was diagnosed with ventriculomegaly during a prenatal check-up in Hebei. The doctor suggested going to Beijing for an MRI and to register at the Beijing Obstetrics and Gynecology Hospital. It was extremely difficult. I didn’t make an appointment for an MRI. I made an appointment for a B-ultrasound one month later. The final check showed that everything was normal... The doctor said that this may be a process of the baby’s development and will be absorbed later

Observe closely. Follow the doctor’s instructions, they are the most professional after all! Pregnancy is hard work, and you have to endure huge pressure. It is not easy! Take care of yourself!

Listen to the doctor's advice. If it is a disability, it is better not to give it up. Otherwise, both the child and the adult will suffer.

The brain-medullary pool is too wide, which is a hidden danger of hydrocephalus. My best friend was told this at the beginning, but she didn’t believe it. The baby died a week after he was born
