However, data on their postnatal course, growth dynamics, and clinical relevance are limited. This study investigates the long-term development, growth patterns, and resolution of CPC in newborns and infants. Materials and Methods We retrospectively analysed 251 CPC in 164 patients admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit between 2014 and 2024. CPC were assessed using serial cranial ultrasonography. Growth dynamics were evaluated using Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and chi-square testing. Results CPC were identified in both preterm and term infants, with a mean CPC size of 4.1 mm at diagnosis. Of 177 CPC with serial imaging data, 40% were not present on initial scans and appeared postnatally. The median time to resolution was 108 days. Many CPC initially increased in size before decreasing or resolving completely. A chi-square analysis showed a significant shift in growth behaviour between the 6- and 12-week follow-up groups (p = 0.006). No infant required intervention related to CPC. Conclusion Postnatal CPC often follow a benign, self-limiting course, meaning they tend to resolve naturally over time, with dynamic growth patterns. Routine monitoring of isolated CPC in asymptomatic infants may not be needed in all cases. Ziel Choroidplexuszysten (CPC) werden häufig pränatal festgestellt und gelten im Allgemeinen als gutartig. Allerdings liegen nur begrenzte Daten zu ihrem postnatalen Verlauf, ihrer Wachstumsdynamik und ihrer klinischen Relevanz vor. Diese Studie untersucht die langfristige Entwicklung, die Wachstumsmuster und die Rückbildung von CPC bei Neugeborenen und Säuglingen. Materialien und Methoden Wir analysierten retrospektiv 251 CPC bei 164 Patienten, die zwischen 2014 und 2024 auf eine neonatologische Intensivstation aufgenommen wurden. Die CPC wurden mittels serieller kranialer Sonographie beurteilt. Die Wachstumsdynamik wurde mittels Kaplan-Meier-Überlebensanalyse und Chi-Quadrat-Test ausgewertet. Ergebnisse CPC wurden sowohl bei Frühgeborenen als auch bei termingeborenen Säuglingen festgestellt, wobei die durchschnittliche CPC-Größe bei der Diagnose 4,1 mm betrug. Von 177 CPC mit seriellen Bildgebungsdaten waren 40 % bei den ersten Untersuchungen nicht nachweisbar und traten postnatal auf. Die mediane Zeit bis zur Rückbildung betrug 108 Tage. Viele CPC nahmen zunächst an Größe zu, bevor sie sich verkleinerten oder vollständig zurückbildeten. Eine Chi-Quadrat-Analyse zeigte eine signifikante Verschiebung im Wachstumsverhalten zwischen den 6- und 12-Wochen-Nachbeobachtungsgruppen (p = 0,006). Bei keinem Säugling war eine interventionelle Behandlung im Zusammenhang mit dem CPC erforderlich. Schlussfolgerung Postnatale CPC zeigen in der Regel einen gutartigen und selbstlimitierenden Verlauf mit dynamischen Wachstumsmustern und spontaner Rückbildung.
