hi and pleased to answer you
Ventriculomegaly is the point at which the liquid filled structures (cerebral ventricles) are too high. When you are pregnant you will have an ultrasound. With the ultrasound, the specialist will measure the cerebral ventricles of the baby. On the off chance that the ventricles are 10 millimeters or more noteworthy in size, then you will be informed that your baby has "ventriculomegaly".
The result of ventriculomegaly relies on upon a few components including the size of the ventricles, regardless of whether there are some other discoveries on the ultrasound, for example, agenesis of the corpus callosum, and the aftereffects of the amniocentesis. All in all, the result is more awful when the ventricles are bigger, the amniocentesis is unusual, or there are different issues seen on the ultrasound. The best result is regularly watched when: 1.) the baby's ventricles are just somewhat developed (measure between 10-15 millimeters in size, 2.) when there are no different issues seen on the ultrasound, and 3.) the hereditary testing results are ordinary this is called "mild lateral dilatation".
