The risk is the same for multiple cysts as it is for one. G-d bless. <br /><br />From Calgary Diagnostics: <br />"CPCs look like black spots in the hemispheres of the brain and were first seen in the 1980s. They caused a scare initially because many babies with Trisomy 18 were found to have CPCs. However, research has shown that these babies almost always have other abnormalities, such as strawberry-shaped heads, overlapping fingers and abnormal feet, heart, kidney or abdominal problems. Babies can have these cysts on one or both sides of the brain and there can be one or more cysts on each side. However, the number or size of the cysts do not matter as these facts have no bearing on the overall risk for a chromosomal abnormality. The risk is the same if there are one or multiple cysts."Stealth Jewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08858120917952718365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328581480660567211.post-84878557667584401832012-01-11T21:10:37.273-08:002012-01-11T21:10:37.273-08:00beautiful girl!! i am hoping things turn out great...beautiful girl!! i am hoping things turn out great for her :)k and jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704430194311356898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328581480660567211.post-40275548718769045662012-01-10T19:27:21.123-08:002012-01-10T19:27:21.123-08:00Janice, I've loved reading your blog over the ...Janice, I've loved reading your blog over the past few years! I appreciate how honestly and openly you share what's going on in your life. I'm sure the news that you've gotten about your sweet baby girl is really scary, but my hope and prayer is that the CPCs will simply resolve themselves by the next scan (as they so often do). Moreover, I pray for *peace* for you both as you wait. I know how hard the waiting can be.<br /><br />~~Joni (from BBC's Large Families board)SCOTT HAMMOND, AUTHORhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01750573912738234173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328581480660567211.post-5571218483318792252012-01-10T19:11:46.906-08:002012-01-10T19:11:46.906-08:00Praying for you!

I do have a story. Our first born son had a choroid plexus cyst on his brain. I remember like yesterday how scared and worried I was at the time. Our ob sent the ultrasound to a specialist ob/gyn who thought it would be okay and estimated the cyst could be gone in six weeks. We waited those six weeks for our scan that confirmed the cyst had now gone. Our son was born in perfect health and has just graduated from high school gaining a place at University. They told me it was quite common to have these choroid plexus cysts yet it never happened again with any of our sons.<br />May peace be with you while you wait.<br />SusanDenimAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12213444551340532391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-328581480660567211.post-50409937946919303962012-01-09T17:09:21.108-08:002012-01-09T17:09:21.108-08:00Try to stay calm.

She has no health problems except stubborness, attitude and an amazing passon for life. ;-). I do worry about the future as no one knows if she will some day fall behind but her 8 siblings all argue who is taking Rose although i think she will be on her own. She has very few challenges and meets NO obstacles including holding own with 6ft brothers playing street hockey....<br />Smile big for a wonderful life change.

I know the feeling and heartache of hearing that kind of news. After countless hours of research it seemed that the only reliable marker for Ds is the NT screening. Also seeing a nasal bone present at the 12w u/s is a strong indicator that baby does NOT have Ds. All of the 20w anomal scan Ds "markers" can't be relied upon at all.<br /><br />There are other risk to Amnio other than a m/c. The one the really got me was the risk for an amniotic fluid embolism which puts mommas life at risk.<br /><br />Praying for PEACE!
