We recently had our 18 week anatomy scan done. We've been told the baby has a choroid plexus cyst on her brain and an echogenic cardiac focus on her heart. Each can be found in healthy babies (between 1-5% of the time), but each can also be a soft marker for different chromosomal abnormalities.
This news was upsetting, in part because it was such a surprise. We had a normal Innatal test result (more intensive first tri blood screening test...same as Harmony, Panorama, etc.) and we used donor eggs from a 24 yr old.
The only way to know if the baby has a problem is to do an amniocentesis, which of course carries its own risks. Just wondering if anyone has dealt with finding either of these markers & what you did. Thanks!
