A member asked:
My newborn baby has mega cistern magna measuring 11.7.will it cause any developmental issues or any other issues..i am really worried?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe/not. Studies have shown this occurs in many within the population, reaching 1% by one study. If the kid has this as an isolated finding, not part of other unusual features it has a variable influence on development. There may be some delay in motor development, or not. I have never been comfortable translating these variations into bad news for parents. Seek an evaluation by 6 months.
