AB KEY  POINTSOne  of  the  most  common  findings  on  sonographic  evaluation  of  the  fetal  brain.Easily  detected  due  to  its  obvious  anechoic  appearance  at  places  that  should  not  be  present.Prognosis  varies  from  a  normal  benign  variant  with  minimal  to  no  clinical  significance  that  often  regresses  spontaneously,  to  poor,  based  on  the  specific  type  of  cyst  and  associated  structural  and  genetic  anomalies.Larger  cysts  may  exert  pressure  on  adjacent  organs  causing  displacement  of  structures,  or  obstruct  the  flow  of  cerebrospinal  fluid.Although  mostly  isolated,  they  can  be  associated  with  other  pathologies;  therefore  targeted  neuroscan  and  detailed  anatomy  scan  are  warranted.
