Methods A prospective cohort between 2014 and 2019 was analyzed, including 50 singleton pregnancies with isolated non-severe ventriculomegaly (VM) admitted in the Fetal Medicine Center of Barcelona and 50 controls. Cases of congenital or chromosomal abnormalities, perinatal infection and/or intrauterine growth restriction were excluded. CC was assessed in sagittal plane obtained by transvaginal ultrasound at 30 weeks of gestation. Subsequently, the images were processed with a semiautomatic software (Matlab ) obtaining the following variables: length, total area, areas of Witelson’s subdivision.
