CHOROID PLEXUS CYST

Image
CHOROID PLEXUS CYST The choroid plexus is the part of the brain that makes the fluid that bathes and nourishes the brain. A CPC is a tiny “bubble” or “pocket” of fluid inside the choroid plexus that can be seen on ultrasound. There may be one or multiple CPCs. Choroid plexus cysts are nonneoplastic cysts lined by cells that are morphologically similar to those of the epithelium in the CNS. They have various names: ependymal cysts, neuroepithelial cysts, choroidal-epithelial cysts, and subarachnoid-ependymal cysts (Czervionke CF, Daniels DL, Meyer GL, Pojunas KW, Williams AL, Haughton VM. Neuroepithelial cysts of the lateral ventricles: MR appearance. AJNR 1987;8:609-613). They are found in 1-2% (1 in 50 to 1 in 100) of pregnancies. Most CPCs will go away before delivery; however even if they do remain, they do not have any effect on the pregnancy and do not require follow up. CPCs have also been seen in imaging of healthy individuals and do not have any long term effects
