AB  - KEY  POINTSVentriculomegaly  is  not  a  diagnosis.  It  is  a  sign;  when  diagnosed,  a  search  for  all  underlying  causes  should  be  immediately  undertaken.Ventriculomegaly  is  frequently  associated  with  a  significant  number  of  intra-  and  extracranial  chromosomal  as  well  as  nonchromosomal  anomalies  as  well  as  microarray  abnormalities.For  measuring  the  lateral  ventricle,  it  is  recommended  to  use  an  axial  view  of  the  brain  and  to  place  the  calipers  at  the  level  of  the  parieto-occipital  fissure  that  is  usually  well  demonstrated  from  20  weeks’  gestation.Congenital  ventriculomegaly  has  an  increased  recurrence  rate  and  after  the  birth  of  an  affected  infant  a  targeted  neuroscan  is  recommended  in  a  subsequent  pregnancy.
