The cases were divided into groups of isolated bilateral ventriculomegaly (IBVM) and non-isolated bilateral ventriculomegaly (NIBVM) according to the presence of extra prenatal imaging. Subgroups of mild, moderate, and severe were determined according to lateral ventricle widths. The NIBVM group was further classified into pregnancies with soft markers, non-structural abnormalities, and structural abnormalities.Results: A total of 353 pregnancies were enrolled, including 153 cases of IBVM and 200 cases of NIBVM. Conventional karyotyping was performed on 192 samples, and 15 cases of numerical abnormalities and 3 cases of unbalanced structural abnormalities were identified. Chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) was concurrently performed on 108 of them and revealed additional 5 cases (4.7%) of copy number variants with clinical significance. CMV DNA testing was performed on 154 of the 192 cases that underwent invasive prenatal diagnosis, and a positive result was found in 2 (1.3%) cases. In the IBVM group, the percentage of favorable prognosis in the mild, moderate and severe pregnancies were 94.4%, 79.2%, and 4.8%, respectively, and the termination of pregnancy (TOP) rates were 4.6%, 20.8%, and 85.7%, respectively. In both the mild and moderate NIBVM, the TOP rates progressively increased and the favorable prognosis survival rates progressively decreased relative to the soft markers, non-structural abnormalities, and structural abnormalities, respectively. Approximately 94.1% of severe NIBVM ended in termination.Conclusion: Genetic disorders and fetal infection are important etiology of BVM. CMA is highly recommended for genetic disorders’ evaluation. Pregnancies with severe BVM always ended in TOP, while in mild-to-moderate NIBVM, prenatal imaging by ultrasound and/or MRI plays important roles in the pregnancy outcomes.Keywords: bilateral ventriculomegaly, genetic disorders, cytomegalovirus infection, prenatal imagingGuo DHe DShen QLin NHe SDai YLi YXu LWu XDove Medical Pressarticlebilateral ventriculomegalygenetic disorderscytomegalovirus infectionprenatal imagingMedicine (General)R5-920ENInternational Journal of General Medicine, Vol Volume 14, Pp 7719-7728 (2021)
