Abstract Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by the abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) within the brain's ventricles and/or subarachnoid space, leading to ventricular enlargement and elevated intracranial pressure.
This anomaly is sometimes detected during a routine fetal scan between 18 and 22 weeks of gestation, although early signs may be visible by the end of the first trimester. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging data play a crucial role in guiding patient counseling and pregnancy management. It is essential to inform the couple about the prognosis of these anomalies to ensure optimal care and decision-making.
We report the case of severe hydrocephalus diagnosed prenatally at 23 weeks of gestation. Through this clinical case, we discuss the ultrasound signs supporting a positive diagnosis of hydrocephalus as well as the management approach.
