A member asked:

Is there a link between choroid plexus cysts and trisomy 18?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trisomy 18: The presence of choroid plexus cysts and other anomalies can be caused by the presence of trisomy 18 in the fetus. A solitary choroid plexus cyst is not usually associated with trisomy 18.
