Thank you for this I am 26 weeks and just found out my little guy has one I was very uneasy leaving the Dr today even though he told me not to worry but this video has given me some comfort. My first child suffered from HIE at birth but made a full recovery just the thought of something on this baby's brain brought me back painful memories of my first born.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! It is always so hard going through a pregnancy and birth after a difficult previous experience. Every little thing can cause PTSD and it's always so difficult feeling we have so little control over the situation. Unilateral single CP cysts are very common and mostly completely benign. Try to enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and good luck! Thanks for watching!!

This gave me more peace than anything. My daughter has one found at the 20 week scan. US tech specifically got very good shots of her opened hands and her feet. Heart was beautiful. I chose not to do genetic testing in the beginning as I felt it would make me anxious.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Thank you Dr Tala. Can I request to do a video on CRUSS how to do and what to look for.

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Yes we do need to do that!!! We covered some US findings in IVH video (I’m def not a neuroradiologist but there are a few things we’re used to looking at which I could cover!)

I am 19 weeks pregnant and my baby have choroid plexus cysts 10×5mm and 9×5mm on right and left side respectively . what is next step? What shall I do? continue pregnancy or terminate it

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Hello Dhananjay. It sounds like you have an excellent OB who has found these cysts and given measurements, so definitely trust their opinion about the next steps. An anatomy scan and possibly genetic testing would probably be helpful to guide you. Good luck

[@dhananjaykalyankar4190]

Thanks

Hi , my baby was found a cyst after be born, and at that time was 1,7mm but now at 7 months, grown and have 4mm, should i be worried?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

I'm sorry you're going through this. It sounds like somebody is following your baby's ultrasounds well. Like all cysts- they can grow before they go away completely. We wish your baby health.

Hello! Obviously I don't know the details of your infant, but many choroid plexus cysts resolve by themselves. Please follow with your obstetrician/ pediatrician. Good luck

tiny choroid plexus cyst noted in bilateral lateral ventricle Scan report from my wife is any problem Iam from india

[@TalaTalksNICU]

Congratulations on your wife's pregnancy. It is good your OB noted these. Sometimes more than one cyst can be associated with genetic anomalies, but obviously I can't speak to this as I don't have any details. Follow with your OB to see whether there are any concerns. Good luck!

Now Iam 28 weeks pregnant .in my 26 weeks ,scanning shows both the lateral ventricle are delated ,with dangling choroid plexus with the atria measuring 1.4 cm and 1.6 Cm.the third and fourth ventricle are not delated . Any problem dr ? Is this automatically vanished on next altrasound scanning ? In my case may Nt scan and anomaly scan and double marker blood test are normal . The 6 th month scanning shows this issue . What will do ?

[@TalaTalksNICU]

It sounds like you have excellent doctors taking care of you. I'm sure they'll follow up exactly as needed. Hopefully it's a transient increase and it will resolve. Wishing you health and peace.
