It is a condition in children where the ventricles of the brain appear larger or dilated than normal on prenatal ultrasound. It occurs due to the build-up of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Ventriculomegaly may show symptoms such as a large growing head, irritability, bulging veins on the scalp, and developmental delays.
