The ultrasound showed my baby has Choroid Plexus Cysts. What is that and should I worry?
Finding a Choroid Plexus Cyst (CPC) on a routine ultrasound is a relatively common phenomenon and is usually associated with a normal pregnancy. Most CPC’s are diagnosed between 15 and 17 weeks of gestation and will disappear between 24 and 28 weeks without apparent long term complications. We will order another ultrasound after 28 weeks to demonstrate resolution of the cyst. It is important to remember these cysts do not cause developmental or structural abnormalities. There are no implications for infant development or IQ.
