Isolated prenatal choroid plexus cysts do not affect child development

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pd.2757/abstract;jsessionid=C19BFABA56741F16859D212540B68474.d01t01
A prospective design was implemented to identify CPC cases and controls in mid-pregnancy. Cases (n = 25) and controls (n = 45) participated in a follow-up visit when children were 18 months of age.
Results

No significant differences were found in any outcome measure between children with prenatal CPC detection and those without.
Conclusion

Findings should provide reassurance to practitioners and parents that isolated CPCs in fetuses with normal karyotypes do not affect child development after birth.
