Question

Hi, I’m five months pregnant and had a normal anomaly scan. But they said there are some point-like bright spots in the left ventricle of the fetus. What could be the reason? The doctor said it might be related to chromosomal abnormalities, but it’s not a one-to-one relationship, and I’m very worried. What kind of problems could there be? I’ve had a Down syndrome screening and it’s low risk, is there a high possibility of chromosomal diseases? I’m really worried… There are no bright spots written, but it looks like there are two on that form.

Answer

Hi, bright spots in the interior of the fetal ventricles during development may disappear as the fetus grows. However, if there is also heart malformation, it should be ruled out whether there is a chromosomal abnormality. It is recommended to follow medical instructions for regular prenatal examinations and closely monitor the fetus’s development.
