Fetal growth and development is a delicate process which relies on the optimal oxygen supply to the fetus. Obstruction to this supply might cause delayed myelination or white matter damage which in turn, may lead to enlargement of cerebral ventricles. therefore, cerebral venous oxygenation (SvO2) was estimated in second and third trimester fetuses with enlarge ventricles using quantitative susceptibility mapping. Average SvO2 was found to be 68.2%±5.1% and a decreasing trend in SvO2 across gestation was observed in the fetal cohort with enlarge ventricles.
