Follow-up outcome analysis of 324 cases of early-onset and late-onset mild fetal ventriculomegaly: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Mild fetal ventriculomegaly (VM) is a nonspecific finding common to several pathologies with varying prognosis and is, therefore, a challenge in fetal consultation. We aimed to perform a constant, detailed analysis of prenatal findings and postnatal outcomes in fetuses with early-onset and late-onset mild ventriculomegaly, and provide a new evidence basis and new perspective for prenatal counseling.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study of women with a diagnosis of mild fetal VM between January 2018 and October 2020. The population was divided into two groups according to the gestational ages (GAs) at initial diagnosis: the early-onset group (diagnosed at/before 24⁺⁶ weeks) and the late-onset group (diagnosed after 24⁺⁶ weeks).
