tlooto Summary

The presence of early GE cysts appears to be associated with additional severe brain and extracranial anomalies, including fetal growth restriction, which should trigger a transvaginal neurosonographic examination.

Abstract

To characterize the sonographic features of fetal ganglionic eminence (GE) cysts diagnosed during the late first and early second trimesters, assess their association with additional brain and extracranial malformations, investigate their genetic etiologies and evaluate fetal outcomes.
