Abstract: Objective:To investigate the results of prenatal diagnosis and prognosis of isolated mild ventriculomegaly fetuses. Methods:Chromosomal karyotypes were retrospectively investigated in sixty one singleton fetuses with isolated mild ventriculomegaly. The outcome of fetuses was acquired through regular follow-up. Results:In 61 cases of isolated mild ventriculomegaly, 3 (4.92%) chromosomal aberrations were detected, including 2 Down syndrome and 1 trisomy sex chromosome. In 50 cases which the IgM of toxoplasma, cytomegalovirus and rubella virus was detected, one case was positive with rubella virus IgM. Follow-up was successful in 55 cases, 8 were terminated because of various causes, including 3 chromosomal aberrations and 1 rubella IgM positive case. In 47 alive cases, 1 was found to have multi-maformation after birth, 1 died in neonatal period,2 with developmental retardation, 43 cases (91.49%) with normal development. Conclusions:Prenatal diagnosis is necessary for the fetuses with isolated mild ventriculomegaly. Apart from chromosome aberration and congenital infection, most of isolated mild ventriculomegaly fetuses have good prognosis.
