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 should be fully evaluated and differentiated between choroid plexus cysts and other types of cysts. We believe that a detailed evaluation of detected cysts and other structural brain abnormalities are essential. Prenatal magnetic resonance scans clearly can decrease the need for risky procedures, such as an amniocentesis, in the evaluation of antenatal choroid plexus cysts.
脉络丛囊肿的发生率约占胎儿异常的1%。我们描述了一个病例，其中通过胎儿超声检查和胎儿磁共振扫描在未使用诊断性羊膜穿刺术检测非整倍体的情况下识别出胎儿的一个大脉络丛囊肿。出生后，该患儿接受了手术。总之，应充分评估产前颅内囊肿的性质，并区分脉络丛囊肿和其他类型的囊肿。我们认为对检测到的囊肿和其他脑部结构异常进行详细评估至关重要。产前磁共振扫描显然可以减少在评估产前脉络丛囊肿时对诸如羊膜穿刺术等有风险程序的需求。
