Causes of right lateral ventricle enlargement

There are often some problems in our human brain, such as cerebral palsy, cerebral infarction, cerebral hypoxia, etc. These are some common problems. At the same time, there will also be widening of the lateral ventricle. Generally, this situation should be treated in time to prevent more serious consequences. Generally, some symptoms will appear when this situation occurs. There are many reasons for the occurrence of the disease, so what is the reason for the widening of the right lateral ventricle?

The width of the fetus's lateral ventricles exceeds the normal range. The cause may be obstruction of the ventricular system or failure to take folic acid tablets during pregnancy.

The widening of the fetus's lateral ventricles is a manifestation of hydrocephalus, which is a case of neural tube defect. The cause is directly related to the fact that the pregnant woman did not take folic acid tablets in the early pregnancy. It is also related to the development of the fetus. The normal width of the lateral ventricles will not exceed 1 cm. If it exceeds this, it is widening of the lateral ventricles. If it exceeds 1.2 cm, it is considered to be hydrocephalus. Since your fetus's condition is progressive, it is better to carefully choose whether to keep the fetus.

It is best to check CT or MRI, and actively treat the symptoms after the diagnosis is confirmed. Because we cannot see the patient in person and fully understand the condition, the above suggestions are for reference only. Please go to the hospital for specific diagnosis and treatment under the guidance of a doctor.

The standard method for prenatal ultrasound examination to determine whether the ventricles are enlarged and the extent of the disease is to measure the width of the body of the lateral ventricle.

It is usually caused by abnormalities in the central nervous system, such as abnormal development of midline brain structures or local mass, but can also be an intracranial manifestation of abnormalities in other body systems, such as chromosomal abnormalities, viral infections, etc.

There are many reasons for this, for example, the child's urination function is poor when you are doing it, the urine is relatively small, or the brain is lacking oxygen, etc.

From the current perspective, this situation is not a big problem. Generally speaking, if it does not exceed 1.5 centimeters, it is okay and it can slowly recover after birth.

According to your description, the normal width of the lateral ventricle body is less than 1cm, with an average of 0.7cm. A lateral ventricle width greater than 1cm is called ventriculomegaly.

There are two types of fetal ventriculomegaly: physiological and pathological. Mild ventriculomegaly is mostly physiological, specifically defined as a diameter of less than 1.5 cm, which is mild ventriculomegaly.
