Hi,
Thanks for writing in.
There is an area in the brain where grey matter is present in an unusual location. This is not a dangerous illness and often since birth. The dilated body of right lateral ventricle is also most likely developmental. These features do not usually affect the patient much, some may have seizures for which they need to get investigated in detail. This cannot be corrected by surgery or medications. Any seizures need to be controlled.
