Abstract：Ventriculomegaly(VM)is the most common fetal central nervous system abnormality,and fetal brain MRI has become an important modality for evaluating fetal VM.Structural MRI can quantitatively assess brain volume,specific brain regions,and alterations in sulcation and gyrification in fetuses with isolated VM(IVM),whereas functional MRI can reflect microstructural changes,providing information on brain development and white matter fiber tracts in IVM fetuses,thereby as a reference for prenatal assessment.This article reviews research progress on the use of MRI for central nervous system assessment in fetuses with IVM.
