Dr. Lynn,

I had them fax the exact wordage and this is what it states, any clarification would be greatly appreciated.

No enlargement is seen of the fetal cerebral lateral ventricles,which measures 4.6mm in diameter. This cisterna magna may be slightly small, measuring 1.8mm. No malformation is suggested of the fetal cerebal shape however, the cerebellum does not appear to be flattened or absent and measure 1.8 cm in width.

There is a slight echogenic appearance within the amniotic fluid.

The HC/AC artuio is slightly elevated and the cisterna magna size appears small.

This is what the report reflects,.
