Echogenic Bowel And Choroid Plexus Cyst Posted: 08-08-06 22:48pm
My 20 yr. Old daughter is 33 weeks
pregnant and we just found out that the
baby has echogenic bowel with cpc. Can
someone please tell me what the chances of
this child having serious medical
problems. I know that they are both
markers for trisomy 21, as well as other
serious medical concerns. I can't
discuss this with her because she has told
no one, and has known since she was 18
weeks. I am frightened for her( she is
bipolar) she doesn't tend to deal with
reality too well. Thank you

Hi i'm afraid i've never heard this
condition but you need to speak to someone
qualified like the doctors at the hospital
or maybe do some research on the internet
but only go to reputable websites

Hello, thank you for the reply. I have
researched it at length, and because of
her age I can't talk to her Dr. I just
thought perhaps someone would have heard
or perhaps a person in the medical field
would know. Thank you again.

You could try asking the doctor on this
forum. There should be a button at the
top of the page if he is available. I
don't know when they are available from
though.

At my Level 2 Ultrasound the doctor found
both the echogenic bowel and CPC that you
reported your daughter having on hers. In
addition, she found another marker,
echogenic focus on the heart. I am 36
years old (37 by the time I deliver) and I
had normal AFP results and ultrascreens.
But although those numbers were above
average, these three findings on the the
ultrasound (although soft) together
pointed to a 1:20 (5%) chance of by little
boy having Downs or some other chromosonal
problem. All that said, I just got my
amnio FISH results after 3 days of sheer
torture agonizing on whether or not to
even take the test. Glad to report normal
results. Hope this provides you with some
comfort that all is very likely to turn
out positive ).
