Summary
Fetal lateral ventriculomegaly (VM) prognosis can be predicted by monitoring the change speed of width ratio (CSWR) and maximum lateral ventricular width (MW). These metrics aid in assessing outcomes for fetuses with VM.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Fetal Medicine
- Neurology
Background:
- Fetal lateral ventriculomegaly (VM) is a condition requiring investigation into its clinical outcomes.
- Identifying risk factors associated with fetal VM is crucial for prenatal care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the clinical outcome of fetal lateral ventriculomegaly (VM).
- To identify risk factors influencing the prognosis of fetal VM.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective analysis of 255 cases diagnosed with fetal VM.
- Prenatal imaging and follow-up investigations were conducted.
- Multivariate logistic regression analyzed factors affecting hydrocephalus prognosis.
Main Results:
- 102 cases were followed up; 12 had poor prognosis (case group) and were compared to controls.
- Change speed of width ratio (CSWR) and maximum lateral ventricular width (MW) were statistically significant.
- CSWR and MW were associated with fetal prognosis.
Conclusions:
- Change speed of width ratio (CSWR) and maximum lateral ventricular width (MW) show potential value in predicting fetal prognosis.
- These imaging metrics may assist in managing fetuses diagnosed with VM.

The nursing management of Mitral Valve Prolapse, or MVP, centers around patient education, symptom monitoring, and lifestyle modifications.Patient Education on MVP Diagnosis and Heredity: Nurses should provide comprehensive education about MVP, a condition where the mitral valve does not close appropriately during heartbeats. This education often includes the condition's pathophysiology, symptoms, and potential complications, like arrhythmias or mitral regurgitation. Though not fully...

1.8K
Fetal circulation is a unique system that facilitates the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the developing fetus and the mother. This intricate process takes place through a special organ called the placenta.
Two umbilical arteries transport blood from the fetus to the placenta. At the placenta, the blood absorbs oxygen and nutrients while simultaneously eliminating waste products. This oxygen-enriched and nutrient-rich blood then returns to the fetus through one...
