Diagnosis of fetal hydrocephalus by ultrasound.
An ultrasound scan of a fetus at 26 weeks gestation suggested abnormal dilatation of a lateral cerebral ventricle. Serial scans confirmed progressive dilatation of both lateral ventricles. Clinical hydrocephalus causing obstructed labour occurred and required craniotomy. Post mortem upon the fresh still born infant confirmed internal hydrocephalus.
