Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are cysts that occur within choroid plexus of the brain. They are the most common type of intraventricular cyst, occurring in 1% of all pregnancies. It is believed that many adults have one or more tiny CPCs. The fetal brain may create these cysts as a normal part of development. They are temporary and usually are gone by the 32nd week of pregnancy.

dbo:abstract
  • Als Plexuszysten (Plexus chorioideus-Zysten) werden harmlose zystische Strukturen ohne eigenen Krankheitswert im Bereich des Plexus chorioideus im Gehirn eines ungeborenen Kindes bezeichnet, die in ovaler oder runder Form einseitig oder beidseitig sichtbar sind. Die Größe beträgt meist 0,3 bis 2 mm. Plexuszysten kommen sowohl unilokulär (auf eine Stelle begrenzt) als auch multilokulär (an mehreren Stellen) vor. (de)
  • Choroid plexus cysts (CPCs) are cysts that occur within choroid plexus of the brain. They are the most common type of intraventricular cyst, occurring in 1% of all pregnancies. It is believed that many adults have one or more tiny CPCs. The fetal brain may create these cysts as a normal part of development. They are temporary and usually are gone by the 32nd week of pregnancy. CPCs are a rare cause of intermittent hydrocephalus. This is caused by a blockage of foramina within the ventricular drainage system of the central nervous system (CNS), which can lead to expansion of the ventricles, compressing the brain (the cranial cavity cannot expand to accommodate the increase in fluid volume) and possibly causing damage.
