Please Give Me Info On the Cysterna Magna... Posted: 10-03-05 09:30am
Hi there. I went in for my ultrasound at
23 weeks and have been frazzled since
because of the behavior of the
sonographer. With my first child the
ultrasound took about 20 minutes from
start to finish and I was permitted to
hear the heartbeat and see the image on
the screen. With this pregnancy, the
sonographer initially had the sound on for
me to hear the heartbeat but immediately
shut it off muttering something under her
breath. Then after I had been on the
table for at least 20 minutes and had the
same measurements done probably a half
dozen times, she left the room, returned,
continued with the ultrasound, then left
the room again to return with another
sonographer (i assume) they spoke quietly
amongst themselves and I heard them say
something about a ventricle, then they
both left the room again and the original
sonographer returned with a doctor. They
continued the ultrasound and spoke again
quietly to eachother and the doctor asked
what the average was "between 4 and 10?"
then said to just leave it and they would
determine it when they reviewed the film,
then they would confirm the measurements.
I heard them say something about the
cysterna magna and later was to find that
it was 8. Is this unusual and why have
they scheduled me to see a specialist?
