felt that some patients could have pathologic intracranial conditions that might alter the BPD, making this measurement less reliable ( Table 3–12 ).
Microphthalmos can be suspected when the orbital diameter falls below the fifth percentile for age ( Table 3–13 ). Because this is a statistical definition, careful examina­tion of the intraorbital anatomy, as well as detection of
associated anomalies, is warranted. Conditions associated with microphthalmos include chromosomal (trisomies 13 and 18 and trisomy 9 mosaic), environmental (fetal toxoplasmosis, rubella, varicella, and alcohol syndrome and maternal phenylketonuria), and multiple syndromes (eg, frontonasal dysplasia, Fraser syndrome, Lenz syn­drome, and Fanconi syndrome).

THE VENTRICULAR SYSTEM
For practical purposes, we have divided the analysis of the ventricular system depending on the sonographic modality used, transabdominal or transvaginal.
TRANSABDOMINAL SONOGRAPHY
Lateral Ventricular Width–Hemispheric Width Ratio
Definition
The lateral ventricular width–hemispheric width (LVW/ HW) ratio represents the percentage of the whole cerebral hemisphere that corresponds to the lateral ventricle, mea­sured in an axial plane.
How to Measure It ( Figure 3–4 )
The widths of the lateral ventricles and the hemispheres are measured in a plane parallel to the BPD, but slightly closer to the top of the head. In this section, the lateral ventricles (LVs) appear as two linear echoes, roughly parallel to the midline. The LVW is then measured as the distance from the midline to the first echoes of the LVs. This measurement is thus slightly greater than that of the actual LV, because it does not use its medial wall as the internal landmark. The HW is the largest distance between the midline and the inner edge of the skull, measured perpendicular to the midline. To avoid tilting errors, one should be able to recognize both LVs as being equal in size.
Comments
The normal LVW/HW ratio at 15 weeks can be as high as 71%, with a mean of 56% and a range of 40% to 71%. By 37 postmenstrual weeks, the mean is 29%, with a range of 24% to 34% ( Table 3–14 ). These data reflect the rapid growth of the cerebral hemispheres as pregnancy progresses, making the LVW/HW decrease with advancing age.
The LVW/HW ratio was developed to monitor ven­tricular growth in an attempt to provide an early diagnosis of hydrocephaly at a time when the classical diagnosis
36
37
of intrauterine hydrocephaly relied on the finding of a BPD > 11 cm or a head-to-abdomen ratio > 2. this ratio provided a way to diagnose hydrocephaly up to 2 months before the BPD was pathologically enlarged, other parameters, such as the width of the lateral ventricu­lar atrium were able to do that too.
37
Transvaginal neuro-
38
Although
36
sonography can evaluate the fetal ventricular system in a much more accurate way and somewhat earlier.
One of the major drawbacks of the LVW/HW ratio is that echogenic “lines” previously used to delineate the ventricular walls are instead reflections from small venous structures deep in the fetal white matter. SD of this ratio renders it ineffective for detecting early ventricular dilation.

ANTERIOR (FRONTAL) HORN OF THE LATERAL VENTRICLES AND CAVUM SEPTI PELLUCIDI
Definition
The anterior horn corresponds to the portion of the lateral ventricles anterior to the interventricular foramen.
The cavum septi pellucidi (CSP) is a closed cavity in the brain, located on the midline of the transverse plane between the two leaves of septum pellucidum, which sepa­rate the lateral ventricles.
How to Measure It ( Figure 3–5 )
To allow proper visualization of the anterior horn with transabdominal sonography, a horizontal (axial) scanning plane parallel and slightly anterior to that for the BPD should be used. In this section one should be able to recog­nize, in an anterior-to-posterior fashion, the anterior horns (AHs), the CSP, and the atria of the lateral ven­tricles (A). The cerebrofrontal horn distance (CFHD) can then be measured from the midline echo to the lateral wall of the anterior horn distal to the transducer. It should be kept in mind that from about 30 postmenstrual weeks on, the lumen of the anterior horns is very hard to visual­ize, and only its lateral aspect is defined. The frontal HW is measured from the leading edge of the midline echo

Comments
The relative size of the anterior horns decreases with advancing gestational age. This was demonstrated by
Goldstein and coworkers,
41
who found that, in spite of an increasing CFHD throughout pregnancy, the CFHD/ HW ratio decreases throughout gestation, from 50% at 15 menstrual weeks to 28% at term ( Tables 3–15 and 3–16 ). These findings correlate with previous reports
42
and are related to the fact that the internal lumina of the ventricles are progressively reduced and molded by the growth of

The septi pellucidi are two thin, translucent leaves that extend from the anterior part of the body, the genu, and the rostrum of the corpus callosum to the superior surface of the fornix. They begin to develop at 10 to 12 weeks of
gestation and reach an adult form by the 17th week of gestation ( Table 3–17 ).

They are also part of the limbic system and are important relay stations, which are linked with the main hippocampus and hypothalamus. For a more extensive review of the sonographic diagnosis of CSP abnormalities, see Chapter 5 .

ATRIUM OF THE LATERAL VENTRICLES
Definition
The atrium, or the trigone, is the triangular portion of the lateral ventricle that is connected anteriorly to the body, posteriorly to the posterior horn, and inferiorly to the infe­rior horn. The lateral ventricular atrium width (LVAW) is the widest dimension of the atrium of the lateral ventricles that can be measured in an axial plane.
HW
Figure 3–6.
How to Measure It ( Figure 3–6 )
The atrium (A) of the lateral ventricles can be measured near the axial plane previously described for the BPD. It can be easily recognized by the presence of the highly echogenic choroid plexus (CP) within it, marking the lat­eral wall of the ventricle farther from the transducer. The electronic calipers are then placed using an outer-to­inner (leading edge-to-leading edge) technique. Other

parameters that can be used to evaluate the ventricular atrium are the cerebroatrial distance (CAD), atrial width/ HW ratio, atrial width/CAD ratio, and CAD/HW ratio. The CAD is measured in the same plane as the distance between the midline and the outer border of the atrial lumen. The HW corresponds to the distance between the midline and the inner border of the calvarium.
Comments
It is important to place the calipers across the ventricle that contains the choroid plexus just across the indenta­tion of the cortex marking the parietooccipital fissure. This anatomic landmark becomes increasingly evidence and marked as the gestational age increases.
The ventricular atrium is a structure easily recognized due to the presence within it of the choroid plexus, which is among the most noticeable intracranial landmarks. During the second and third trimesters, the choroid plexus normally fills the atrium of the lateral ventricles, touch­ing the lateral ventricular walls. Ventricular enlargement can thus be suspected when a separation ≥ 3 mm can be measured between the ventricular surface of the choroid plexus and the adjacent ventricular wall.
The LVAW is an excellent measurement for verify­ing the state of the ventricular system. It is age inde­pendent, with a mean of 7.6 mm, which remains stable with little change (SD 0.6 mm) throughout gestation, certainly a very useful feature for any parameter used to evaluate a normal fetal structure ( Table 3–18 ). For prac- tical purposes, a normal upper limit of 10 mm for atrial width has been established. measurement is its low reported intra- and interobserver variability.
