Subependymal cysts in normal neonates.

screening. The heterozygous forms are probably not detectable during the first half of pregnancy.

Neurodevelopment outcome of newborns with cerebral subependymal pseudocysts at 18 and 46 months: a prospective study

“…The incidence of SEPCs varied from 1.4% to 4.4%, in accordance with several previous reports,8 24 but less than the recently published (15%) 25. The rate increased over time because of a more accurate diagnosis of SEPCs and sensibilisation of the medical staff.…”

Sonography of subependymal cysts in congenital rubella syndrome

“…If SEH has occured in utero early enough to undergo complete cystic resolution, no evidence of prior SEH might be detected at the time of sonographic examination [9,11]. This might account for some of the cases with subependymal cysts and no apparent cause.…”

Cranial ultrasound findings in well newborn Ugandan infants

“…These rates are far higher than in other studies. SEP were reported in 0.5–5% of healthy term infants,2 20 21 in 3–5.23% of preterm infants21–24 and in 4.1% of all admissions to a neonatal unit 25. SEP are associated with congenital infections, especially cytomegalovirus and rubella,21 23 24 26–28 with many metabolic disorders, for example Zellweger syndrome, mitochondrial disorders and sulphite oxidase deficiency,29 congenital abnormalities such as cardiac defects21 30 and a host of genetic abnormalities.…”
