Snippet: Fetal hydrocephalus is a fairly common occurrence in pregnant women, surfacing early or late in the pregnancy. The perinatal and pediatric outcomes are largely determined by the cause of hydrocephalus and the extent of the irreversible destruction of the brain tissue. In pregnancies where the fetal prognosis is unfavorable, aspirating the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to facilitate vaginal delivery is an option. In this report, we present the case of a primigravida with term fetal hydrocephalus who
Document: Fetal hydrocephalus is a fairly common occurrence in pregnant women, surfacing early or late in the pregnancy. The perinatal and pediatric outcomes are largely determined by the cause of hydrocephalus and the extent of the irreversible destruction of the brain tissue. In pregnancies where the fetal prognosis is unfavorable, aspirating the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to facilitate vaginal delivery is an option. In this report, we present the case of a primigravida with term fetal hydrocephalus who underwent ultrasound-guided transabdominal cephalocentesis and subsequently delivered vaginally without any adverse perinatal outcomes.
