PPM - Mild Fetal Ventriculomegaly-Checklist

Checklist

Pdf Summary

This checklist provides a summary of the necessary actions and documentation required for cases of Mild Fetal Ventriculomegaly. It includes reviewing and documenting medical, personal, and family history, as well as exposure to drugs and genetic testing results. Fetal biometry and head measurements should be recorded, along with the size and appearance of the lateral ventricles. Any other abnormalities found in the ventricles, central nervous system (CNS), spine, and brain should also be documented. Genetic counseling, prenatal screening, and referrals for further tests like MRI, fetal echo, and amniocentesis are discussed and documented. The checklist emphasizes the need to consider and document additional tests for specific genetic conditions, as well as providing a differential diagnosis and prognosis. Neurodevelopmental outcomes should be reviewed and documented, with a referral to a pediatric neurologist offered. If amniocentesis is performed, the results should be discussed and documented. Follow-up ultrasounds to monitor the progression of ventriculomegaly and plans for neonatal follow-up should also be documented.
