Anterior choroid plexus cysts: Distinction from germinolysis by high‐resolution sonography

Abstract

ACPC are not rare and are identified by their location, form, and movement.

Cranial ultrasound findings in well newborn Ugandan infants

“…One explanation for the high rate of SEP and CPC in our study might also be that we performed high-resolution cUS; van Baalen and Versmold35 found, using high-resolution cUS, that 5% of German infants had CPC, higher than found in other studies.…”

Diagnostic value of subependymal pseudocysts and choroid plexus cysts on neonatal cerebral ultrasound: a meta-analysis

“…It has been postulated in the literature that high-resolution sonography and the position of the cystic lesion would help distinguish between haemorrhagic and non-haemorrhagic germinolysis 42 43. Furthermore sonographic criteria have been published to distinguish between subependymal pseudocysts and choroid plexus cysts 44. Based on the above mentioned facts and our own experience we feel that this is not necessary.…”

Transfontanelle ultrasonography in pediatric practice

“…En sık saptanan anormal bulgular; BOS mesafelerinde genişleme (%4,4), hidrosefali (%3,8), subaraknoid mesafede genişleme (%2,7), en az saptanan anormal bulgular; ventrikül kisti (%0,5), subdural mesafede artma (%0,5), germinal matriks kanaması (%0,5), kalsifikasyon (%0,5) ve mega sisterna magna (%0,5) idi. Çeşitli çalışmalarda subependimal kistler ve koroid pleksus kistleri yenidoğan döneminde kraniyal ultrason taramalarında yaygın olarak saptanmıştır ve yenidoğan popülasyonunun %1-%5'inde bildirilmiştir (17,18). Bizim çalışmada ise koroid pleksus kistleri %1,6 oranında saptanmıştır.…”
