The authors report the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of subependymal cysts, confirmed by in utero MRI, in an apparently uneventful pregnancy. The sonographic appearance of the lesions, the obstetric management and the postnatal follow-up to one year are described. Special attention is paid to prenatal factors of neurological morbidity, rather than intrapartum and postnatal, thus emphasizing the importance of early and sequential evaluation of the developing fetal brain. Diagnosis, clinical significance and outcome of prenatal subependymal cysts are necessary for parental counselling and obstetric management. Furthermore, the detection of a prenatal brain injury may have remarkable medico-legal implications.

“…Connatal cysts, which are thought to be a result of incomplete co aptation of the fetal ventricles, are a normal variant and are always located immediate ly adjacent to the frontal horns [8, 22,[29][30][31]. Connatal (or subfrontal) cysts are seen most often during the early postnatal peri od and may regress spontaneously [29,31]. The sonographic appearance includes bilat eral symmetric cysts located adjacent to the frontal horns, just anterior to the foramina of Monro.…”

“…The information is based on case reports and case series. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Further, the use of various terminologies to describe FHC including periventricular pseudocysts or cavitations, coarctation of the lateral ventricle or connatal cyst has resulted in significant heterogeneity in the way these lesions are classified.…”

Newborn frontal horn cysts: cause for concern?

Objective: To document the incidence, natural history and compare neurodevelopmental outcome of newborns with and without frontal horn cysts (FHC).Study Design: This was a case-control study. Newborns with and without FHC were identified and matched for demographics and worst cranial ultrasound scan (CUS) findings. Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed at 18 to 24 months.Result: A total of 30 FHC cases were identified from medical imaging database. Twenty-five cases occurred in preterm p32 weeks gestation with an incidence of 1% (25 of 2340). The diagnosis was made on the initial CUS in 28 cases. The cyst size and number varied from 1 to 18 mm and 1 to 6 respectively with no change noted on repeat CUS during hospital stay. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were not statistically significantly different between the groups.Conclusion: FHC are not uncommon in the newborn period. They appear to be benign with no impact on neurodevelopmental outcome. This information is vital for counseling parents of infants with FHC.
