Diagnosis of fetal hydrocephalus by ultrasound
The New Zealand Medical Journal
|May 28, 1980
An ultrasound scan of a fetus at 26 weeks gestation suggested abnormal dilatation of a lateral cerebral ventricle. Serial scans confirmed progressive dilatation of both lateral ventricles. Clinical hydrocephalus causing obstructed labour occurred and required craniotomy. Post mortem upon the fresh still born infant confirmed internal hydrocephalus.
