Prenatal imaging of posterior fossa disorders. A review.

With advances in fetal imaging, prenatal diagnosis of posterior fossa anomalies has been greatly improved. Based on the anatomical approach proposed by Guibaud and Desportes in 2006, the main anomalies depicted according to the algorithm includes: (1) increased "fluid-filled" space of the posterior fossa, (2) abnormal biometry of the cerebellum, and (3) abnormal cerebellar anatomy. In this review, the spectrum of PF anomalies is covered in an attempt to update this approach in the light of both our experience, more than a decade since this algorithm was published, and the latest data in the literature.
