Abstract
Five cases of fetal ventriculomegaly are described in detail. Following ultrasonography, either computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was used in an attempt to clarify the structural pathology of the ventriculomegaly. In two patients, a precise diagnosis was achieved while a probable diagnosis was established in a third patient. The diverse etiology of fetal ventriculomegaly in these five cases demonstrates that ancillary medical imaging may be necessary to achieve diagnostic precision prior to therapeutic intervention.
