P38.08: Microcephaly with simplified gyral pattern: the value of ultrasound and fetal MRI on management

ultrasound and MRI defined further enlargment of ventricular width (14 mm) and the absence of parieto-occipital fissure, calcarine fissure and cingulate sulcus. The couple after extensive counseling opted for continuing pregnancy. At the moment the pregnancy is ongoing. Unilateral borderline ventriculomegaly, as an isolated finding, is a common sign during ultrasound scan in midgestation, and reports describe it is as minimally effective on developmental outcome. The control of malformations of cortical development with different sulcal and gyral patterns may be associated with specific diagnoses, and provide accurate parental counseling.
