Outcome of fetal ventriculomegaly. 1984

F A Chervenak, and C Duncan, and L R Ment, and J C Hobbins, and M McClure, and D Scott, and R L Berkowitz

Ventriculomegaly was diagnosed in 50 fetuses in the perinatal ultrasound unit of Yale-New Haven Medical Center. The outcomes were elective abortion, 13 (26%); antepartum death, 0 (0%); intrapartum death, 7 (14%); neonatal death within 24 h, 11 (22%); neonatal death after 24 h and within 28 days, 3 (6%); death after 28 days, 2 (4%); survival, 14 (28%). 70% of the deaths were associated with severe congenital anomalies or intrapartum cephalocentesis. Of the 14 survivors, 6 (43%) had Bayley mental or Stanford-Binet scores of over 80, 2 (14%) had scores from 65 to 80, and 6 (43%) had scores of less than 65. The differences in outcome between this antenatal population and previously described neonatal populations with ventriculomegaly may result from the high rate (84%) of abnormalities in association with ventriculomegaly in this study and selection biases in neonatal studies.
