Can I keep the pregnancy if the posterior fossa pool is 10mm?
The posterior fossa pool measuring 10mm is acceptable. A value of 10mm or less for the posterior fossa pool is considered within the normal range. A measurement of 10mm is regarded as the borderline threshold for hydrocephalus and does not necessarily indicate a problem. Regular follow-up examinations are recommended, and as long as the measurement does not continue to increase, it is generally safe.
At six months of pregnancy, the fetus develops rapidly, which may lead to mild hydrocephalus. A posterior fossa pool measurement of 10mm can often be reabsorbed naturally, but regular ultrasound monitoring is still advised. If the fluid is gradually absorbed, it is likely physiological hydrocephalus, which usually requires no treatment. However, if the measurement exceeds 10mm, pathological hydrocephalus should be suspected, which may affect fetal development. In such cases, regular ultrasounds to monitor fetal growth are essential, and timely termination of pregnancy may be recommended if necessary.
During this period, pregnant women should drink plenty of water, ensure adequate rest, monitor amniotic fluid levels, and actively follow up to check for absorption. It's important to maintain a nutritious diet, keep warm to avoid catching a cold and compromising recovery, and engage in appropriate physical exercise to enhance immunity.
