Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 1 year old son has 2 choroid plexus cysts. Our pediatricians are not very helpful, as I believe they are not familiar with what to do since CPC generally goes away before birth. So I am just wondering what kinds of effects (if any) does/will CPC have on my son? I.E: hearing, vision, developmental, etc etc.
Choroid plexus cyst occurs due to a slight deviation in the development of a small part of the brain where brain fluids circulate.
It is not so uncommon in children and its usually asymptomatic and detected incidentally. If there is no other associated congenital anomalies, then no need to worry. If any associated anomalies or developmental delay are there, then we need to rule out any chromosomal defects.
As you mentioned, usually choroid plexus cyst disappears before birth but rarely it can persist after birth. Ideally it wont cause any vision/ hearing/ developmental defects.
I would suggest you to follow up with nearby pediatrician, especially to look for any associated anomalies and his development.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
