Choriod plexus cysts can be normal variants.In this case aneuploidy has been ruled out as well.They usually disappera around 28 weeks.Most poeple reommend ultrasound every 4 weeks.As for the echogenic focus...dont know whether worthwhile doing an echo ...

Its a case of 21 weeks pregnency.

The 2nd level ultrasound report shows

1) Right Choroid Plexus having a cyst of size 6.3 mm x 5.0 mm 2) Left Choroid Plexus Cyst of size 6.6 mm x 4.5 mm in fetal brain 3) 2mm echogenic focus seen in the Left Ventricle of Fetal Heart.

Rest of the Ultrasound report is normal

FISH (Fluorescence Insitu Hybridisation) Test was performed, No numerical abnormaility was detected for the 13, 21, 18, 23 chromosomes.

Is there any need to worry about the Fetus ?

I want to know the effects of the two Cysts on Right and Left Choroid Plexus and the Echogenic Focus seen in the Left Ventricle of Fetal Heart ? Are they harmful?

If yes, what type of abnormalities can be there in baby? How we can find out? How they can be cured?can.html
