A member asked:

Doc said tht my baby has a genesis of corpus callosm & might hve heart condition & diagnosed w/ dandy walker syndrom. 15 weeks preg, what to do?

Consult neurosurgeon: Prenatal findings of agenesis of the corpus callosum and possible dandy walker malformation may indicate developing hydrocephalus. A consultation with a pediatric neurosurgeon can confirm the findings and allow you to discuss the best follow-up plan and treatment options both during the rest of the pregnancy and after delivery, as well as safe methods of delivery itself.

Because the fetal : Brain starts to form 3 wks. Post-conception & the heart & other organs soon after, a fetal-maternal medicine specialist will ask about exposure to toxins & illnesses before your pregnancy was diagnosed, offer genetic testing & counselling, & consult with a pediatric cardiologist for fetal echocardiogram & a pediatric neurosurgeon to follow serial ultrasounds, so your baby will have optimal care.
