My baby has a cyst in its brain. All of my other tests came back fine (i did get the NT screening which the Dr. said was 'perfect') and now our scan showed yesterday a C P cyst with no other soft markers. Ugh. Not something I wanted to hear... anyone else? Also my kid was all scrunched up and wouldn't move and since we are considered high risk for a heart defect (my sister has one) we now have to go to a pediatric cardiologist so that we can get some better pictures of the baby's heart... I am trying to be calm and cerebral about this but its hard...
Re: Choroid Plexus Cyst
My baby has that too. The doctor at the ultrasound was very reassuring and explained all the other things that they would look for to indicate a problem, none of which he found. That, combined with the blood work, still keep my odds of an issue very low so we decided not to go with the amnio. I have another ultrasound scheduled in a few weeks so they can check and make sure LO is growing on schedule.
It's always scary to hear that there could be something wrong, but between the doctor and many people (on this board!) who have said they had the same issue and everything turned out fine, I'm not as worried as I was at first. Good luck!
We found that our daughter had multiple cysts at 18 weeks. They were her only marker for anything, so we elected not to do the amnio (we wouldn't have done it if they had found something else anyway). I went back for another u/s at 23 weeks, and they were all gone, which they had been expecting.
Both my OB and my high risk dr. say that choroid plexus cysts are much more commonly found today due to advances in u/s technology, and that 99% of the time, they are nothing to worry about. I have a host of other pg issues, and these doctors are VERY upfront with me. I was genuinely not worried in between those two appts because of what they told me. I wish you all the best.
DD#1 had 2 or cpc's that were discovered at our anatomy scan (20w). We were referred to a level II that we had at 24w. She had no other markers and by the time we went for the level II they had already dissipated.
The perinatologist explained to us that on their own cpc's really don't mean a thing. He said that cpc's are pretty common and that if babies had u/s everyday a vast majority of them would have these. They come and go and a good number of adults still have them.
