About this study

Antenatal ultrasound screening for periventricular pseudocysts is steadily increasing, enabled in part by technological advances in ultrasound equipment.

Most of studies dealing with periventricular pseudocysts and subsequent neurodevelopment are based on neonatal screening, mostly performed in neonatal units.

Current data in the literature on the postnatal outcome of children screened antenatally are scarce; there are only 5 cohort studies with small numbers on the subject.

The present study aims to improve the information given to the parents during the screening of periventricular pseudocysts in the Pluridisciplinary Center of Prenatal Diagnosis, with retrospective cases screened during the last 5 years in university hospital of Bordeaux.

Primary outcomes

  1. postnatal child development

    Time frame: Baseline

    composite criterion as follows: Delayed acquisition is defined according to the standards of the Pediatric Society: age of sitting > 8 months, age of walking > 18 months, ability or not to associate 3 words at age 3. The use of a medical profession concerns follow-up by a speech therapist, a psychomotrician or a physiotherapist. It is not necessarily a periodic follow-up but a minimum of 2 consultations after the "assessment" consultation.

    The scoring defines 2 groups,

    • children with 0 points considered with a "normal" post-natal development
    • children with 1 point or more considered with a post-natal development disorder.

Secondary outcomes

  1. mother's medical history

    Time frame: Baseline

    mother's medical history

  2. medical history of the child

    Time frame: Baseline

    medical history of the child
