Correct me if I'm wrong. The cisterna magna, should measure at least 4 mm, but not more than 10 mm.

1. If less than 4mm, what condition might be suspected & what other body parts would I find irregularities?

2. If more than 10 mm, the same above questions.

3. In measuring the c.m. sometimes there is a connection tissue from the cerebellum to the skull. a. Is that an age factor (of when it is present & when not) ?

b. Does the thickness of the connection tissue have any significance?

Nucal fold should measure no wider than 4 mm. If wider, what is suspected?

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
