This is usually not a problem unless your doctor has ordered other tests that show a possible genetic problem. (taken from med.unc.edu)" A choroid plexus cyst does NOT cause learning problems or mental retardation and are not cancer. Although it can be scary to hear the two words cyst and brain in the same sentence, these cysts are not known to cause any problems for a baby." How common are these? Choroid plexus cysts are seen in approximately 1% (1 in 100) of all second or third trimester ultrasounds. They usually disappear during the third trimester but they don't always. It doesn't make any difference if they disappear or not. These cysts can also be found in adult brains and go unnoticed during our lifetime. Why is this important? If mothers have other risk factors, a choroid plexus cyst may suggest that the baby has a higher chance of having a chromosome change such as Trisomy 18. In cases like this, more testing will be offered to you." Take a few minutes and do some research. I found a forum where you can talk and get support from other parents experiencing this: http://choroidplexuscyst.org/ Best Wishes.
