How dangerous are pineal brain cysts?

Ultrasound showed cysts on babies brain?

  • I had an ultrasound yesterday at 17 weeks 1 day. The dr. told me they found cysts on the babies brain, and recommended I do the down syndrome blood testing. He told me not too worry, that this is "common". But as a mother, Its only natural too worry, has this happened too anyone and what happened? BTW im 22, and down syndrome doesnt run in either side of the families. Thanks too anyone who can help.

  • Answer:

    Down syndrome doesnt HAVE to run in your family for your baby to get it. Its the way the genes "make" the baby that could cause a mental health defect. If they find out its just cysts on the babys brain, they may do testing to make sure the cysts arent cancerous. And if they arent, they may have you take some form of medicine to help kill the cysts. They will keep an eye on you and the baby to do the best they can to make sure you are both safe. Try not to stress. If the dr isnt too worried yet, theres no need for you to stress mama. Stressing is bad for the lil one.

Like other posters said, it's NOT genetic. It's common to find cysts on the brain. It's a question of whether those cysts remain or not. If they resolves themselves and go away (which normally happens), then there's no worry. If the cysts stay for an extended period of time or get bigger, then you need to worry.

Down Syndrome can happen to any baby, it doesn't have to run in families. If your doctor recommended the test, do it. I just had my second part done and I'm waiting for the results. I feel it's better to be prepared if something is wrong.

Down's syndrome doesn't run in any family, it is a random meiotic mutation that is more common with older moms. Take the test if you want to know, don't if it doesn't matter to you if the fetus has trisomy 21.
