Abstract: (454 Views)
Background and Aim: This cross-sectional study investigates the association between congenital heart diseases (CHD) in fetuses with choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) detected through fetal anomaly sonography. The study was conducted at Masoumeh Children Hospital in 2019.
Materials and Methods: A total of 250 participants were enrolled using the available sampling method. The data included maternal age, gestational age, fetal sex, CPC presence, and CHD diagnosis. Fetal echocardiography was performed, and the participants were categorized into groups with and without CHD. The statistical analyses were carried out using the SPSS software, version 22. Descriptive statistics, the chi-square tests, and the independent t-tests were employed for data description and comparison.
Results: The mean age of mothers with CPCs was 32.1±10.92 years, while in the healthy mothers’ group, it was 32.78±10.73. CPCs were observed in 57.8% of female neonates and 62.6% of male neonates, with no significant statistical relationship to fetal sex. Although the group with CPCs exhibited more abnormal fetal echocardiographic findings, no significant association was observed between these findings and CPC presence. Additionally, no significant relationship was identified between pregnancy term and CPC presence.
Conclusion: Infants with CPC had a higher incidence of congenital heart defects, as seen on the echocardiogram; however, there was no significant correlation between the presence of these cysts and heart defects. Thus, parents need not to worry.
