Fetal MRI/Ventriculomegaly/Missing Corpus Callosum

posted 6th Nov '07
Ok, so I'm 23 weeks pregnant, I'm having a fetal MRI this week. My little girl has ventriculomegaly (one of the ventricles in her brain is dialated). We've been watching it for about 2 months now and it was getting bigger. At my ultrasound yesterday it hadn't gotten any bigger since my last ultrasound two weeks ago. My doctor can't see her corpus callosum (the part of her brain that connects the two sides of the brain) and is worried its missing. I had an amnio 2 weeks ago, and it came back normal. So now I'm having a Fetal MRI this week to see if the corpus callosum is missing. I'm wondering if anyone has ever had a Fetal MRI, or has gone through any of this before. Any advice or anything would be greatly appreciated. (I'm also going to put this in PI cause I wasn't sure which would be better).

oh wow! i've never been through it but i wanted to say good luck! i hope the tests come back with good news.


without a corpus callosum would she still be bale to function properly? i know that it connects the right brain and left brain...so would it just be harder for her to learn and process stuff?

Thanks so much ladies. From what my doctor told me and what I've read online it depends on if the entire corpus callousm is missing or if only part of it is missing. If the whole thing is missing, she can have non stop seizures starting as soon as she is born, and can have severe mental retardation. My doctor and I are waiting until we get the results, before we go into specifics, because he doesn't want to stress me out even more, but I keep looking online, which of course makes it worse.
