Checking during pregnancy can reveal relevant information about the fetus. Some pregnant women may find that the fetus has widened left ventricle during prenatal examinations. When such a situation is discovered, they are naturally very worried and afraid that their child will be affected by it. So, what should be done if the fetus has widened left ventricle?
The lateral ventricle is a very important cavity in the fetal brain, which reflects the development of the child's brain and the presence of hydrocephalus. Generally speaking, the width should be less than one centimeter. If it exceeds one centimeter, it is considered as left ventricular widening.
If such abnormal conditions are found during ultrasound examination, the treatment method should be determined according to the actual situation. When treating, attention should be paid to the severity of left ventricular widening and whether there are any abnormal conditions in other examination indicators. If the width of the examination is between 1.0 and 1.5 centimeters, then there is generally no hydrocephalus present in this situation. As long as there are no other abnormal conditions in ultrasound examination, the possibility of fetal malformation will be relatively low. In this case, it can be considered to preserve the fetus.
If the width exceeds this range or many ultrasound indicators are abnormal during examination, there may be chromosomal abnormalities, which means that the condition is quite serious. Therefore, it is best to give up pregnancy at this time.
