What is the treatment for fetal intracranial cysts?

If the fetus shows symptoms, it is the most difficult disease to treat. It cannot be treated directly, but only through indirect treatment, which is very difficult. In such an environment, pregnant women should go for regular check-ups, which is very good. That's good. In many cases, protect your body well.

Brain cyst refers to a disease in which brain tissue and its appendages form cystic tumors and produce varying degrees of brain pressure symptoms. Brain cysts are benign growths that compress the brain due to their large size, forming one of the space-occupying lesions of the brain. During the formation period of space-occupying lesions, the brain tissue is compressed by the expansion of the cyst, producing a series of compressive symptoms. Among them, ptosis, smaller palpebral fissures, paralytic esotropia, and limb dysfunction are quite common.

There is a ventricular system in the human brain. The inner membrane of the ventricular cavity is called ependyma. The cysts that occur under this membrane are subependymal cysts, and their incidence is not low in newborns.

Most children with subependymal cysts may not have any symptoms. Most of the cysts are single and can be absorbed by themselves within 3 months after birth. Within 6 months after birth, the intellectual development, height, weight and head circumference of these children are slightly behind those of normal children, but they can basically catch up at around 1 year old. Only a few newborns with varying degrees of congenital malformations can have their absorption time delayed to 6-9 months after birth, and their intelligence and physical development are significantly backward.

Therefore, the prognosis of most children with cysts is good, but parents should not take it lightly, but should actively cooperate with doctors and take their children to the hospital for regular follow-up of head ultrasound. Generally speaking, if the cyst continues to grow, especially if it is larger than 5 cm; or in older patients, the possibility of a tumor cyst is greater, so it should be surgically removed if necessary, and a postoperative pathological examination can determine the nature of the lesion. Many children develop small intraventricular cysts during the fetal period. However, your report did not specify where the cyst was, what it looked like, whether it was related to the ventricles, etc. It is recommended that you go to a higher-level hospital for reexamination. Because your report is very brief, you need to observe the child's other parts and organs in detail to see if there are any problems. If there is a problem, the prognosis will be determined based on the severity of the problem. If there are no other problems except this small cyst, you can ignore it. For many children, the cysts will disappear on their own as they grow up and after they are born.

The above is the treatment method for fetal intracranial cysts. I hope it can attract everyone’s attention. The fetal illness is taken very seriously. After all, it is in your own body, so you will be very worried. It is very good for pregnant women to have regular physical examinations. In this way, they can protect their bodies well so that the fetus can grow healthily in their belly.
