Choroid plexus cysts and aneuploidy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The association of choroid plexus cysts with fetal aneuploidy, particularly trisomy 18, was first noted in 1986. Through the years there have been numerous reports on this subject, but no consensus has been reached with regard to chromosomal risk. In this review, we attempt to summarise published reports on second trimester choroid plexus cysts, with an emphasis on the strengths and weaknesses of each report. Based on these reports, additional malformations are a significant risk factor for aneuploidy and an indication for determination of fetal karyotype. The management of isolated choroid plexus cysts remains controversial.

CPCs are a relatively common finding during the second trimester sonography. when a choroid plexus cyst is identified, the presence of structural malformation and other sonographic markers of aneuploidy should be assessed with a detailed fetal anatomic survey performed by an experienced person. if no other sonographic abnormalities are present, the CPC is considered isolated. given the consider...
متن کاملA large choroid plexus cyst diagnosed with magnetic resonance imaging in utero: a case report
The incidence of choroid plexus cysts represents approximately 1% of fetal anomalies. We describe a case in which fetal ultrasonography and fetal magnetic resonance scans were used to identify a large choroid cyst in a fetus without the use of a diagnostic amniocentesis to detect aneuploidy. After birth, the child underwent surgery. In conclusion, the nature of prenatal intracranial cysts shoul...

Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are the most common neuroepithelial cysts, but rarely present with neurological signs or symptoms. Intracranial lipomas are generally seen at an interhemispheric location, and solitary choroid plexus lipomas (CPLs) have been reported in only a few cases. Here we report a symptomatic case of a 39-year-old woman with combined CPC and CPL on the lateral ventricle. She p...
متن کاملA choroid plexus papilloma arising from an incidental pineal cyst.
We report a case of an incidental pineal cyst discovered on MR imaging that progressed to a choroid plexus papilloma. The MR features of pineal cysts, the difficulty of distinguishing benign cysts from cystic neoplasms, and the implications for surgical management are discussed.
