Is fetal ventriculoseptal separation common?

Fetuses often have many problems, such as colds, fevers, etc. These are minor problems. They may also have some big problems, leading to the occurrence of some diseases, such as lateral ventricle separation, which means that the ventricles are not in a gathered state. Once this happens, it should be treated in time. Some people say that fetal lateral ventricle separation is relatively common, while others say it is not common. So is fetal lateral ventricle separation common?

Cerebrospinal fluid is a liquid that appears as a dark liquid area on B-ultrasound. If there is no certain amount of cerebrospinal fluid accumulation in the lateral ventricles, the inner and outer walls of the lateral ventricles almost fit together. When cerebrospinal fluid remains, the inner and outer walls of the lateral ventricles are separated by a liquid dark area, which is called lateral ventricle separation. In late pregnancy, lateral ventricular separation of less than 1.0 cm is considered normal, and more than 1.1 cm is diagnosed as hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus will affect the development of the fetus's nervous system after birth.

As long as it does not exceed ten, it is normal, so you don’t need to worry too much, it will be absorbed slowly. Generally speaking, as long as the size does not exceed 1 cm, it is possible for it to recover on its own, but it is not absolute. You can have regular B-ultrasound check-ups.

The current width of the ventricle is still within the normal range, but it needs to be rechecked. If it exceeds 10mm, it is suspected hydrocephalus, and if it exceeds 15mm, it is definite hydrocephalus.

The fetus' left lateral ventricle can be seen with a liquid dark area of ​​about 0.69CM in anteroposterior diameter. Don't worry, the normal lateral ventricle internal diameter is less than 10mm. It is recommended that you have a B-ultrasound, or a four-dimensional ultrasound examination and amniotic fluid test.

Ultrasound examination during pregnancy found that the fetal lateral ventricle was widened, with 1 cm as the minimum standard for diagnosing fetal hydrocephalus. Some children who were found to have mild hydrocephalus during pregnancy, if the lateral ventricle did not widen further, may gradually be absorbed and disappear during the subsequent follow-up examination, and will not affect the child's normal life. However, fetal hydrocephalus often indicates that the fetus has an increased chance of suffering from chromosomal abnormalities. You have missed the opportunity to check for Down syndrome. Generally, as long as the diameter does not exceed 1 cm, it is possible to recover on its own, but it is not absolute. I suggest you have regular B-ultrasound checkups. As long as it doesn't get bigger or smaller, there's no problem.

Causes of fetal ventricle separation. Because cerebrospinal fluid is liquid, if there is cerebrospinal fluid in the middle of the lateral ventricles, it will separate the lateral ventricles. This phenomenon is called lateral ventricle separation. If the lateral ventricle separation does not exceed 1.1cm, there is no need to worry too much, because the fetus can absorb hydrocephalus below 1cm by itself. Check again after a period of time to see if it is narrower. If it exceeds 1.1cm and the value is relatively large, it should be taken seriously, as it will affect the brain development of the fetus.

What to do if fetal ventriculolysis occurs? Generally, after the pregnant mother finds out that the fetus has lateral ventricle separation, she needs to check whether the separation width exceeds 1cm. If it does not exceed, there is no need to worry too much. After six months, she can do a four-dimensional color ultrasound. The four-dimensional color ultrasound can clearly see whether the fetus is deformed. As long as it is not too serious, don't worry. Relax yourself and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Maintain a good mood during pregnancy and have nutritious eating habits.
