Question
During the NT scan, a 2.1mm x 1.5mm cyst was found on the fetus’s forehead. Can this child be kept? How did this cyst come about?
Answer
Firstly, it is recommended to consider undergoing a chromosome test when this situation arises. Additionally, an MRI can also be considered to rule out the possibility of developmental abnormalities in the fetus’s brain. In the second trimester, an MRI found a cyst on the fetal head, but it was very small and may have been caused by obstructed sebaceous gland secretion. Do not worry too much; as the pregnancy progresses, the cyst may gradually disappear. It is suggested that you have another check-up in three weeks to make a decision.
