BD - there is a huge range in severity with ventriculomegaly, some of which can resolve themselves. We did an enormous amount of research and were referred to the MFM at RWH. If it is that, then ask what the original measurements of the ventricles were and what they are now. I am happy to discuss with you via PM if that helps. We did find that there is a huge variation in possible issues with the brain. Some end up being not very serious or resolve themselves. Some are incredibly serious. Try not to stress about possibilities until you have more information.
I finally saw the OB at my local and she said thaty baby has a mild ventriculomegaly (10.8mm) on one side of his brain and there could be any number of causes of that. They have referred me to the fetal medicine unit at King Edwards and for genetic counselling also. I should be able to see them by early next week which is good.
This OB was definitely far less concerned than the doc I spoke to on Saturday, but I also got the impression that she was not experienced in this type of problem, hence the referral to a specialised unit. I guess we'll know more after seeing the FMU after getting some more screening done. I'll definitely be getting another ultrassound and very likely an amnio too to look for chromosomal abnormalities. For now, I just have to try and relax and try not to stress too much, hard as that will be.
we were referred to a fetal medicine unit last week following our scan, so I know how awful the waiting game is. One thing i can recommend is to stay away from google. I hope you get some more answers next week and pray that your LO one is ok.
