What does asymmetry in brain ventricles on fetal ultrasound mean?
7 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Not much: If that is the only abnormality not much, ventricles can be slightly different in size and be normal.

Depends : What it actually means is that the two fluid filled cavities in the brain called ventricles are slightly different in size. It is important only if one of them is too big (over 10 mm. ).
