Abstract: Ventriculomegaly (VM) is the most common central nervous system abnormality identified on prenatal sonography. It is clinically important because it can be caused by a variety of disorders that result in neurological, motor, and/or cognitive impairment. Many cases are associated with other abnormal findings, but in some fetuses, VM is the only abnormality. If abnormalities are found, parents need as much accurate information as possible to assist in making decisions about the future of pregnancy. In the present review, we present an up-to-date clinical opinion regarding the management of fetal VM.
