A member asked:
30 wk ultrasound, found baby's septum pellucidum absent. what does this implicate? what concerns should we bring up to docs at mri screening?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MR docs know: The radiologists reading the fetal MRI will know what they are looking for. Absent septum can be an isolated finding, or be associated with other abnormalities of brain formation, pituitary gland, optic disk and face. The MRI will be extremely helpful in better understanding what is going on. Good luck.
