Abstract
Over a period of 25 months, all antenatal patients were offered a detailed ultrasound scan at 18-20 weeks' gestation. The lateral cerebral ventricles were scanned for the presence of choroid plexus cysts. Fifty-one patients found to have choroid plexus cysts were offered amniocentesis to exclude chromosomal abnormalities. One pregnancy, in which the only abnormality found was bilateral choroid plexus cysts, was terminated after trisomy 18 was detected on amniocentesis at 19 weeks. The other 50 pregnancies had normal fetal outcomes. The significance of the isolated finding of choroid plexus cysts is reviewed.Keywords
