Abstract

Conatal brain cysts that occur in 1% of newborns are formed prenatally and have a favorable prognosis. These cysts mostly diagnosed with ultrasound; they must be differentiated from other periventricular cysts, namely subependymal pseudocysts and periventricular leukomalacia, which cause neurological disorders. To confirm the prenatal ultrasound and differential diagnosis of periventricular cysts MRI is used. Conatal cysts were found in 10 fetuses using MRI, and the initial diagnosis was changed in 4 cases. Our research points to an important role of MRI in the diagnosis and differentiation of periventricular cysts.
