Özet
Objective: To evaluate clinical characteristics and prognosis of prenatally diagnosed mild fetal ventriculomegaly cases. Material and Methods: A retrospective investigation of the 52 consecutive cases of mild fetal ventriculomegaly (ventriculer width between 10-15 mm) diagnosed in utero in our clinic, 2000-2009 inclusive. Gestational age at diagnosis, ventriculer width measurements, associated malformations and chromosomal anomalies and obstetric outcomes were evaluated. Results: Gestational age at diagnosis was 21.8 ± 4.6 (15-35) weeks. Associated malformations were detected in 78.7% of cases. Spina bifida, corpus callosum agenesis, Dandy Walker malformation and syndromic pathologies were encountered in 55.7%, 9.6%, 7.7% and 5.1% of cases respectively. In our series 61.5 % of the cases were medically aborted, 1.9% were lost in utero, 15.4% were lost after birth, 5.8% had developed various morbidities and 15.4% were alive and healthy. Of the 11 isolated mild ventriculomegaly cases 2 (18.2%) had medical abortion, 1 (9.1%) was lost after birth and 7 (63.6%) were alive and healthy. All isolated mild ventriculomegaly cases with ventriculer width between 10-12 mm were alive and healthy. Conclusion: Associated malformations and chromosomal anomalies adversely affect prognosis in mild fetal ventriculomegaly cases. Isolated mild ventriculomegaly cases with ventriculer width between 10-12 mm have a favourable outcome. Copyright © 2010 by Türkiye Klinikleri.
