CEREBRAL MALFORMATIONS CHORIOD PLEXUS CYSTS
¢Choroid plexus cysts are cysts located within the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles.
These small cysts are frequently encountered during a routine sonographic examination and typically regress by the end of the third trimester, although they are associated with an increased risk of trisomy 18.
A choroid plexus cyst will be located within the choroid plexus of the lateral ventricle, measure greater than 2 mm, appear round and anechoic, and have smooth walls.
