Slightly enlarged CSP-Cavum Septum Pellucidum

Hi there,
I'm 28week pregnant. While everything was all good on 20 week scans ( i also went to a private scan, done by a perinatolog), the sonographer said part of baby’s brain was measuring bigger than it should do, we had to wait to see a fetal medicine specialist to do another scan. We don't even have a measurement, it just says subjectively enlarged. Reading some posts/forums written by people who went through this before and they all saying at the end nothing has happened. It is either narrowed or did not cause any issues.

We're so worried and scared but I'm also not sure why they are doing this to people, having this information is not helping anyone and most of the time either a false alert or not causing anything when it is just an isolated finding. Is this a new thing to measure? Or part of a research? I've asked a doctor friend in Germany and she said if all other measurements are good, nipt low risk, this should not mean much on its own.

I'm trying to stay calm and positive and hoping for the best. Anyone going through the same?

Hi can I ask how this evolved for you?
I have had the same, but at my 36wks scans, all previous scans were normal… thank you

My son has this, as well as some other things, he's 12 years old. He is an absolute joy. Our paediatrician said that there are lots of people walking around with this condition who don't know they have it because they have no symptoms and haven't had a brain scan.
