- Abstract
OC03.04: Prospective detection and differential diagnosis of cystic posterior fossa anomalies by assessing posterior brain at 11-14 weeks Abnormal appearance of the posterior brain at 11-14 weeks is a marker of cerebral anomalies: in fact an increased amount of fluid, particularly when the choroid plexus of the fourth ventricle is not visible and only two brain spaces instead of 3 are seen, may indicate the presence of cystic or cyst-like posterior fossa anomalies, such as Blake's pouch cyst (BPC) or Dandy-Walker malformation (DWM). Both BSOB measurement and BST angle were significantly different in fetuses with DWM, BPC and controls (p < .0001).
