    Fig 2.

    Distribution of additional CNS findings in cases of fetal ventriculomegaly according to maximal ventricle width. Filled bars represent major CNS findings, dotted bars represent minor CNS findings, and empty bars represent no additional CNS findings. Due to small numbers, cases with dilation of ≥16 mm were grouped together.
