Is choroid plexus growth altered in isolated ventriculomegaly on fetal neuro-ultrasound?

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Reveal developmental alterations in choroid plexus volume (CPV) among fetuses with isolated ventriculomegaly (VM) through neuro-ultrasound.

Methods

This prospective study aimed to assess the development of fetal CPV in normal fetuses and those with isolated VM through neuro-ultrasound. The fetuses of isolated VM were categorized into mild, moderate, and severe groups, and subsequently, the lateral ventricle evolution was monitored. The developmental alterations in CPV among fetuses with isolated VM were determined by comparing the CPV z-scores with those of normal fetuses. Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis was used to assess the predictive value of altered CPV in lateral ventricle evolution.

Results

A total of 218 normal fetuses and 114 isol
