Is Cyst On Baby S Brain A Cause For Concern?
My daughter went for an ultrasound in March and when we went to her doctors appointment this month he had told us he wanted to do another ultrasound because the baby has a cyst on the brain. He says that its not uncommon for us not to worry. But is this common and should we be worried about this cyst?

The doctor is probably referring to a choroid plexus cyst, which can be a normal finding at certain times in pregnancy and is of no concern as long as it is not accompanied by any other abnormalities of the fetus. It is very common and usually goes away by itself later in the pregnancy. I hope this answers your question and reassures you. Good luck to your daughter!
