Objective Data regarding the neurodevelopmental outcome of fetal short corpus callosum (CC) diagnosed according to standard reference charts is scarce. The purpose of this study was to assess whether the finding is related to neurodevelopmental delay, and to examine reclassification to normal fetal CC length using CC length/EFW ratio. Method Historical prospective cohort study including pregnant women who were referred for fetal neurosonogram due to abnormal CC. Short CC was defined below the 5th percentile according to reference charts. Twenty cases were included in the study group and compared with a control group of 59 normal cases. The patients in the study group were divided into two groups according to CC length/EFW ratio. Children's neurodevelopment was assessed using the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale (VABS). Results VABS scores were within normal range in 90% of the cases. There was no significant statistical difference between the study group and the control group. In addition, there was no statistically significant difference between fetuses reclassified as normal callosal length according to CC length/EFW ratio in comparison to the control group. Conclusion The neurodevelopmental outcome of fetuses with diagnosed short CC did not differ from the neurodevelopment of normal fetuses in the control group.

“…Therefore, it is generally accepted that small volumetric or morphologic differences between normal-sized lateral ventricles are likely of no clinical significance and have no effect on long-term neurodevelopmental outcome. 3,41,44,48,52,[57][58][59] However, interpreting radiologists should evaluate adjacent parenchymal disease, an intraventricular lesion, or obstruction at the foramina of Monro before dismissing ventricular asymmetry as a anormal variant (Fig 7). 60…”

The cerebral ventricles have been studied since the fourth century BC and were originally thought to harbor the soul and higher executive functions. During the infancy of neuroradiology, alterations to the ventricular shape and position on pneumoencephalography and ventriculography were signs of mass effect or volume loss. However, in the current era of high-resolution cross-sectional imaging, variation in ventricular anatomy is more easily detectable and its clinical significance is still being investigated. Interpreting radiologists must be aware of anatomic variations of the ventricular system to prevent mistaking normal variants for pathology. We will review of the anatomy and development of the lateral ventricles and discuss several ventricular variations.

“…Fetal MRI was performed using a 1.5‐Tesla system (Optima scanner, GE Healthcare Technologies, Milwaukee, Wisconsin) as previously described . The anatomic area was mapped, and sequence selection and planes of acquisition were chosen according to sonographic findings and clinical context, as defined by a neuro‐radiologist MRI expert (C.H.).…”

Objectives:The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of fetal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a complement to ultrasound (US) in the prenatal diagnosis of craniofacial anomalies. Methods:A historical cohort study including all pregnant women who were referred for fetal MRI because of antenatal diagnosis of craniofacial anomalies on screening US. Prenatal diagnostic US, MRI, and postnatal diagnosis were compared for consistencies and discrepancies. Results: Forty-five pregnant women with 73 suspected fetal craniofacial anomalies diagnosed by US underwent MRI. In 40 out of 73 anomalies (54.8%), US and MRI findings were in complete agreement with postnatal diagnoses. MRI correctly ruled out the diagnosis of 24 anomalies suspected on US and diagnosed four additional pathologies that were not demonstrated by US. Out of the 85 anomalies (suspected by imaging or confirmed postnatally), confident diagnosis could be made by MRI in 68 anomalies (80%), not diagnosed in 10 (11.8%), and over-diagnosed in seven (8.2%). By US, confident diagnosis could be made in 44 anomalies (51.8%), not diagnosed in 11 (12.9%), and over-diagnosed in 30 (35.3%).Conclusion: MRI is valuable in the antenatal evaluation of fetal craniofacial anomalies and may be useful as an adjunct to US in the prenatal work-up of craniofacial anomalies.
