Correlation between mild fetal ventriculomegaly, chromosomal abnormalities, and copy number variations

Combinations of various ultrasonic abnormalities significantly affect the risk of pathogenic chromosomal abnormalities and CNVs in fetuses with MV. Cases involving cortical malformations require particular attention to the occurrence of pathogenic genetic abnormalities. When fetal MV is detected, a comprehensive ultrasound examination focusing on undetermined ultrasonic abnormalities is critical. Fetal NSG should be conducted to detect potential cerebral cortical malformation easily missed by routine ultrasound.
