ABSTRACT
A 31-year-old pregnant woman was referred for isolated mild ventriculomegaly and failure to visualize the left lateral ventricle's anterior horn on second trimester sonography (US). Three-dimensional US suspected a frontal lesion deviating the midline. MRI revealed a mass compressing the ventricle. Follow-up MRI described a "brain-in-brain" malformation infolded microgyric cortex and white matter in frontal lobe extending to frontal horn and midline, irrorated by hypertophic Heubner artery. Conservative approach was chosen. Neurodevelopment at 1 year is normal.
