Echogenic Foci and Choroid Plexus Cyst

[kennedydp5]

I don't know if this is the right forum or not...........

I had an u/s done on Feb 1st and I was 20wks and 1day pregnant w/ our 4th child.  During the u/s the doc found a Choroid Plexus Cyst and also found Echogenic Foci in the right ventrical of the heart.  He told me that the CPC was benign and that it should disapear on its own.  But I am worried that the Echogenic Foci was found also.  My 1st trimester screen came back normal saying that my "chances" of the baby having DS was 1/10,000.

I've read that both of these findings can be isolated and resolve themselves before birth, but they were found together...  should I worry?  I have a fetal echocardiagram and another scan of the anatomy scheduled for the 29th of Feb.

Thank you for your time and please let me know if I should have posted this in the Pregnancy ask a doctor forum!!!

hi.  i haven't had my follow up u/s yet but i had a doctor's appt today.  he said that 90% of CPC's disappear and that i shouldn't be worried about it, especially since my 1st trimester screen was normal.  he said though, that the echogenic foci might not just go away...  i asked him if that poses a health risk for our baby (since i don't know much about it) and he said only if comes along w/ a chromosomal abnormality.  i guess he wasn't much help, huh!?!?!  i will definately update you on my findings at our next u/s on the 29th and yes, please do the same!  if its ok, i will send you a message at that time rather than post back on here...
