Five cases of fetal ventriculomegaly are described in detail. Following ultrasonography, either computerized tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was used in an attempt to clarify the structural pathology of the ventriculomegaly. In two patients, a precise diagnosis was achieved while a probable diagnosis was established in a third patient. The diverse etiology of fetal ventriculomegaly in these five cases demonstrates that ancillary medical imaging may be necessary to achieve diagnostic precision prior to therapeutic intervention.
详细描述了5例胎儿脑室扩大的病例。超声检查后，使用计算机断层扫描或磁共振成像来试图明确脑室扩大的结构病理学。在2例患者中，做出了准确诊断，在第3例患者中确立了可能的诊断。这5例胎儿脑室扩大的病因多样，表明在进行治疗干预之前，可能需要辅助医学成像来实现诊断的精确性。
