My cousin's son was diagnosed with this inutero. At their 20 week scan it measured 10.05mm (anything under 10mm is normal) but 3 weeks later it measured 14.6mm which almost put them in the severe category and concerned the specialists because it was such a significant growth in a short amount of time. She was offered a termination, but apart from being born slightly early (at 36 weeks) her son is a happy, healthy and boisterous 2.5 year old.
I know that ventriculomegaly can be associated with chromosomal abnormalities. My cousin did have a CVS at 11 weeks ruling this out. I'm not sure what sort of a difference that makes to the prognosis.
tash - Let me know if you would like me to put you in touch with my cousin. Her daughter was born with a rare genetic condition so the prospect of having another special needs child was difficult and made for a very stressful pregnancy.
