You should evaluate the vermis very carefully ,especially in sagitttal plane. If you just look at the posterior fossa and inferior vermis at axial planes, do not forget that there is a possiblity of misdiagnosis. I recommend you to read the fooolwing article of Pilu et. al. published in Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.

this is a case of bad obstetric history with foetal loss in the previous four conceptions in 1st trimester due to various reasons. this time, in her fifth conception, the ultrasound scan done by 25th week of gestation shows features of agenesis of inferior cerebellar vermis and dandy-walker variant with no ventriculomegaly. how to go about in this case? any one else faced with similar kind of problem?
