The tech noted one brain ventricle at 10.1 The doctor checked and from another angle measured 9.3 Nothing else was abnormal in size. If average is 5-7 what does this mean. This wasn't my regular Dr. he was high risk. I plan on having an amnio but my question is. Is it possible that the ultrasound is wrong in measuring? Do these measurements get elongated? I will not see my Dr. for a week and I'm scared. > Dear Susan, from my experience 10mm measurement of either anterior or posterior ventricles at 20 weeks is significant, however angles do have an effect on the measurment, and the skill of the operator is very important, I suggest a re scan to get a second opinion, or when you have your amnio get them to look again. If this was all that was found try not to worry, especially if only one ventricle was seen to be enlarged. In england we state that anything under 10mm is 'normal'and if no other soft markers were found then it may be of no significance. >------------------------------------------- >Introducing NetZero Long Distance >------------------------------------------- >------------------------------------------- >------------------------------------------- >Unlimited Long Distance only $29.95/ month! >------------------------------------------- >Sign Up Today! http://www.netzerolongdistance.com >-------------------------------------------
