Scan tomorrow.... so scared!

khartnett · Sep 23rd, 2008, 06:36 AM

Hello all, I have my scan tomorrow at 2.30pm. As some of you know when I had my 20 week scan they found something called a "Choroid Plexus Cyst" on the right hand side of babys brain.

I am being scanned tomorrow to find out what is happening hopefully it has gone down on its own its a bubble of fluid. If not i'm not sure what they do or where they go from there.

So fingers crossed everything is ok. (on the up side its another chance to see my son on screen)

Hi Kasey,

i'm so sure everything will be fine. I'm sure you've read up loads on it, but just found this on the internet, which says that really you shouldn't worry if you can help it.

The choroid plexus is an area of the brain that is not involved thinking or personality. Rather, the choroid plexus makes a fluid that protects and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. When a fluid-filled space is seen in the choroid plexus during an ultrasound, it is called a choroid plexus cyst (CPC). "We don't know why, but between 1 and 3 percent of all fetuses will manifest a CPC at 16 to 24 weeks of pregnancy," says Dr. Roy A. Filly, a Professor of Radiology and of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences aat University of California, San Francisco.

Regardless of their number, shape or size, choroid plexus cysts are not harmful to the baby. "I am not aware of a single instance where a CPC caused damage to a fetus," says Dr. Filly.

Dr. Peter Doubilet, a Professor of Radiology at Harvard Medical School, agrees, "That's one very important fact. CPCs are not harmful, and they nearly always go away by the third trimester of pregnancy."

Sending positive thoughts, and let us know how it goes
