What is a 33-week old baby's chance of surviving if it still has a choroid plexus cyst?

Hi --





I'm looking for a doctor or medical professional who knows something about a choroid plexus cyst in infants. My sister is 33 weeks pregnant with a baby girl who has one of these cysts in her head. There is a 99% chance that she will be born [yes that is the statistic) and it will go away, but usually in that statistic the cyst had disappeared by 28 weeks. But what are the chances of a baby developing T-19 if it still has this cyst at 33 weeks?





Thanks in advance for your help.

Choroid plexus cysts are relatively common and relatively benign. The size of the cyst is that is important. If it is small, stop worrying.
