A member asked:
33 weeks ultrasound showed impression of macrocephaly with dilated both lateral and iii rd ventricles. please what does it mean ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Consult neurosurgeon: This sounds like you had an ultrasound of your baby in utero. The dilated ventricles and macrocephaly suggest hydrocephalus. The cause is sometimes not immediately known based on the information provided. Frequently your ob/gyn physician will consult with a neurosurgeon to review the situation and to be available for evaluation/treatment when the baby is delivered.
