Hi,
Thanks for writing to us.
Isolated absence of septum cavum is not a cause of concern, sometimes absence of cavum may interfere development of foetal forebrain.
As you said there is no other abnormality found in foetal scan then please do not worry about it.
It is better to consult a foetal medicine specialist to rule out other possible foetal abnormalities which can be associated with it.
Hope it is useful.
Good luck.
Regards
Dr.Richa
