First-trimester ventriculomegaly in fetuses with callosal agenesis: Cause or association?

The sonographic findings in four fetuses presenting with ventriculomegaly at first-trimester ultrasound that were subsequently diagnosed as having agenesis of the corpus callosum (ACC) are described. The diagnosis of early ventriculomegaly was suspected subjectively by identification of increased cerebrospinal fluid within the lateral ventricles and confirmed by measuring choroid plexus-to-lateral ventricle length and area ratios. Subsequent scans revealed complete ACC in two cases and partial ACC in the other two.
