Hi, Dr Purushottam Neurgaonkar here. I welcome you to HCM VIRTUAL CLINIC. I have have gone through your question, and I think I have understood your concern. I will suggest you the best possible treatment options.

1 ) First of all do not worry.

2 ) A single scan report is not conclusive, repeat the scan after 4 weeks. Also, it is important to know pressure effect of enlarged ventricle on the brain. This is cerebro ventricular ratio. If it is not growing in size and there is no pressure on brain , then you need not worry.

3 ) it will be helpful to consult with fetal medicine expert in your treating hospital. There are many solutions even if the baby's ventricles have problems. The problem can be tackled by neurology experts.

I hope this answer helps you.
Thanks
