What does it mean when the lateral ventricle is not wide?

The lateral ventricle is an important part of our body. The brain plays a dominant role in the human body. If there is a problem, it will indirectly affect our IQ and even cause life-threatening danger. However, there are many problems in our brain, such as cerebral infarction, cerebral palsy, etc., which can be treated. The lateral ventricle is also the same, which includes the narrow lateral ventricle. So what does narrow lateral ventricle mean?

The lateral ventricle is not widened, indicating that there is no hydrocephalus and other phenomena, which is normal.

It is normal for the posterior cranial fossa to be narrow after pregnancy. Pay attention to observation. It cannot mean anything at present. Do a good job of pregnancy check-up. I wish you all the best. As long as it doesn't increase, you can pull it. Some babies can absorb it when they are born. It is healthy if it doesn't exceed 10mm, and it generally cannot be diagnosed as hydrocephalus if it doesn't exceed 15mm.

This is normal. A lateral ventricle larger than 1.0 cm indicates lateral ventricle enlargement, which can be seen in hydrocephalus, etc. Don't worry about what you said, I wish you good health.

What I said is just for your reference. My child's brain development is not good. He has enlarged ventricles. Such children are prone to hydrocephalus and look like they have a big head. The situation you wrote about, is it because the ventricles are small? The head looks small in appearance, and it is a developmental problem. No matter how to say it, it is definitely different from the normal one. You have to ask if it is a developmental problem. If so, you can look at my diary about my child's situation and why my child has such a series of symptoms. You can refer to it in advance and you will know what kind of situation will arise after the brain problem. You can also understand that nothing is good in the past. For you now, it is hard to say whether you have brain nerve development problems or not. You can only prevent it in advance. Now you must keep up with nutrition and be in a good mood. More importantly, don't let your baby lack oxygen in the future. All of this is for your reference.

If the choroid plexus is shrunk and hangs, hydrocephalus is considered to be present. Therefore, even if the brain development is normal in the second trimester, hydrocephalus may occur in the third trimester. Therefore, ultrasound examination during pregnancy is very necessary. In addition, some situations seem to be mistaken for hydrocephalus. Experienced ultrasound doctors will compare relevant factors and make a well-founded diagnosis. Mild abnormalities discovered during pregnancy can be accurately diagnosed through dynamic observation.

It should be the upper limit of normal. Only when it exceeds 10mm is it considered as lateral ventricle dilatation. Moreover, a 5-month-old fetus is in the middle of pregnancy. It is very cautious to judge hydrocephalus during this period, because at this time, the echo of some fetal brain tissue is relatively low, which affects the judgment of whether it is wide or not. So please don’t worry. In another month (approximately 23 to 26 weeks), you can have another B-ultrasound check so that you can know more clearly whether your baby has any problems.
