Methods Ninety two women were referred for lateral ventricular abnormality. All cases underwent serological tests, detailed anatomical scan, fetal brain MR imaging, genetic counseling and amniocentesis for karyotype. Cases with at least one dilated lateral ventricle ≥ 10 mm and a normal work up were considered idiopathic ventriculomegaly and comprised the study group for post-natal follow up (51 cases). Prenatal measurements were performed by ultrasound and MR imaging. Post-natal measurements were performed by trans-fontanellar sonography from one to 3 months after birth.The measurements were performed in the customary plane for each modality; axial plane for prenatal ultrasound, coronal plane for prenatal MRI, and para coronal for postnatal transfontanellar ultrasound.
