Objectives
To assess whether, by applying a predefined set of morphometric measurements to the posterior
fossa and the cerebellar vermis, it is possible to detect and quantify the following parameters,
which represent key features of abnormalities of the vermis and posterior fossa: 1) upward
rotation of the vermis; 2) upward displacement of the tentorium; 3) underdevelopment of the
vermis. Also to assess, in a small subset of cases, the correlation between ultrasound and
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the measurement of these three parameters.
Methods
This was a prospective observational trial. The study population included 51 normal fetuses and
20 abnormal fetuses with Dandy–Walker malformation (n = 5), Dandy–Walker variant (n = 8) or
megacisterna magna (n = 7). Three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound volumes of the fetal head were
acquired from the posterior fontanelle or the posterior part of the sagittal suture and processed
offline with dedicated software. The following parameters were analyzed: tentorovermian angle;
tentoroclivus angle; clivovermian angle; vermian diameter/biparietal diameter × 100 ratio
(VD/BPD ratio). In seven cases, MRI performed on the same day as sonography was available
for comparison. Non-parametric statistics were used to assess differences in means and
correlations.

The tentoroclivus angle was increased only in fetuses with Dandy–Walker malformation (P <
0.001). Upward rotation of the vermis was demonstrated both by the tentorovermian and the
clivovermian angles in fetuses with Dandy–Walker variant (P < 0.001), while in those with
Dandy–Walker malformation the difference was not statistically significant, probably due to the
small number of cases. Finally, the VD/BPD ratio demonstrated that the degree of vermian
hypoplasia was higher in Dandy–Walker malformation compared with Dandy–Walker variant (P
< 0.001).
Conclusions
Using 3D ultrasound, we have demonstrated in the fetus the key elements characterizing most
anomalies of the posterior fossa, namely the upward displacement of the tentorium, the
counterclockwise rotation and the significant hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis. In addition, our
observations in a small number of cases indicate that there is a good correlation between MRI-
and 3D ultrasound-derived morphometric measurements of the vermis. Copyright © 2006

Cystic malformations of the posterior fossa include anomalies of the meninges (arachnoid cyst,
megacisterna magna) and the cerebellum (Dandy–Walker malformation and variant).
Postnatally, the classification of these abnormalities is based mainly on examination of the mid-
sagittal view of the head on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)1–4. Although there is no
unanimous agreement on the criteria for the diagnosis of the three anomalies which represent the
object of this investigation, namely Dandy–Walker malformation, Dandy–Walker variant and
megacisterna magna, those most frequently accepted are the following: in Dandy–Walker
malformation, the cerebellar vermis is hypoplastic and often rotated upward, the fourth ventricle

is cystic and the tentorium is elevated; Dandy–Walker variant is characterized by less severe
cerebellar vermian hypoplasia, often confined to the posteroinferior part, less evident upward
rotation of the vermis, and generally a smaller posterior fossa fluid collection communicating
with the fourth ventricle; megacisterna magna designates a particularly wide cistern exerting no
compression over the underlying cerebellum and communicating freely with the subarachnoid
spaces and, according to most but not all authors, the fourth ventricle5, 6.
These abnormalities of the posterior fossa have been recognized sonographically in the fetus, but
the differential diagnosis can sometimes be extremely difficult7 or even impossible8 because of
the subtle anatomical differences between them6–9 and, above all, because of the limited
possibilities offered so far by two-dimensional (2D) ultrasound. In fact, in most ultrasound
reports dealing with the diagnosis of abnormalities of the fetal posterior fossa, the reference view
for detection and differentiation of these anomalies was axial6–10. The inadequacy of this axial
approach to the differential diagnosis of cerebellar anomalies in the fetus is demonstrated by the
upward rotation of the vermis and the upward displacement of the tentorium in two of the most
recent fetal series of cerebellar malformations. Either these were not considered among the
diagnostic criteria10, or, while they were mentioned, no indication was given as to how they
were demonstrated or quantified9. These difficulties have led to the relatively frequent
employment of MRI to characterize such lesions and to detect associated central nervous system
malformations4, 11.
In this study we employed a morphometric approach to the prenatal diagnosis of anomalies of
the posterior fossa and cerebellar vermis based on the mid-sagittal transcranial view obtained by
three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound. The primary aim of this investigation was to assess whether,
by applying a predefined set of morphometric measurements to the posterior fossa and the
cerebellar vermis, it is possible to detect and quantify the following parameters, which represent
key features of abnormalities of the vermis and posterior fossa: 1) the upward rotation of the
vermis; 2) the upward displacement of the tentorium; 3) the underdevelopment of the vermis.
The second aim of the study was to assess, in a small subset of cases, the correlation between
ultrasound and MRI in the measurement of these three parameters.

This was a prospective observational study between January 2003 and January 2005. The control
group consisted of 51 consecutive fetuses at 18–37 weeks of gestation undergoing routine
second- and third-trimester sonography at the outpatient clinic of our two institutions. The study
group included all 20 fetuses with anomalies of the posterior fossa and/or the cerebellar vermis
seen at either of our two institutions during the study period: these included five cases of Dandy–
Walker malformation, eight cases of Dandy–Walker variant and seven cases of megacisterna
magna. In all cases the diagnosis was confirmed, either at autopsy (n = 11) or postnatally by MRI
(n = 9). The study was approved by the internal review boards of the two institutions and all
women gave their consent to participate.
All patients underwent 2D and 3D sonography performed with a Voluson 730 Expert (GE
Medical systems, Kretz Ultrasound, Zipf, Austria) ultrasound machine. As a reference view we
used the mid-sagittal plane of the fetal head, obtained from the posterior fontanelle or the
posterior part of the sagittal suture, so that the ultrasound beam was almost perpendicular to the
tentorium (Figures 1 and 2). Once the sagittal view was obtained, with a good display of the
corpus callosum, the tentorium and the cerebellar vermis, the volume acquisition procedure was
activated. Fetuses in vertex presentation were studied with a transvaginal approach, whereas
those with a persistent breech presentation were approached transabdominally. The machine was
set up to allow good contrast between the tentorium, the hyperechoic vermis and the fluid-filled
spaces represented by the posterior fossa and the fourth ventricle. In case of breech presentation,
the women were asked to hold their breath during volume acquisition to avoid motion artifacts.

Comparison of two-dimensional (2D) (a, c) with three-dimensional (3D) ultrasound with static
volume contrast imaging (b, d) from the same volumes. The difference in resolution and contrast
of the images is evident; in particular, the edges of the vermis and the tentorium are much more
clearly displayed with 3D ultrasound. This is due to the fact that with 3D ultrasound the 2D slice,
which is a single pixel in thickness, is replaced by a multi-pixel slice 2–3 mm thick. As a result,
the signal-to-noise ratio is enhanced.

anatomical landmarks considered in the study are indicated in a normal fetus: tentorium (a–a');
craniocaudal vermian diameter (b–b'); clivus (c–c'). From these anatomical markers, the
following morphometric parameters were derived and used in our analysis: tentoroclivus angle,
tentorovermian angle, clivovermian angle, vermian diameter/biparietal diameter ratio.
Differences in these anatomical landmarks are shown for various abnormalities of the posterior
fossa: (b) megacisterna magna (arrow); (c) Dandy–Walker variant; (d) Dandy–Walker
malformation.

All volumes were stored and then processed offline using dedicated software (4d-viewer 5.0, GE
Medical systems, Kretz Ultrasound) as follows. Each volume was opened, the static volume
contrast imaging (VCI) option was activated and, using the multiplanar mode, which allows fine
calibration of the slice, the mid-sagittal plane of the fetal head most suitable for the
measurements was obtained. The reference plane for the measurements was identified by the
presence of the whole of the corpus callosum, the tentorium and the cerebellar vermis. The mid-
sagittal plane of the vermis was defined by a section passing through the rostral and caudal
convexities at the levels of its superior, middle and inferior portions12. The fastigium was also
visible in this plane (Figures 1 and 2).
The selected image was then magnified and the following parameters were measured (Figure
2a): 1) tentorovermian angle, defined as the angle between a line drawn along the tentorium
(from the posterior end of the corpus callosum to the attachment on the inner aspect of the
occipital bone; a–a' in Figure 2a) and the maximum craniocaudal vermian diameter (b–b' in
Figure 2a); 2) maximum craniocaudal vermian diameter, defined as the maximum distance
between the uppermost part of the culmen and the caudal edge of the uvula (b–b' in Figure 2a);
this was normalized for gestational age in the vermian diameter/biparietal diameter × 100 ratio
(VD/BPD ratio); 3) vermian area, which was normalized for gestational age in the vermian
area/BPD × 100 ratio (VA/BPD ratio); 4) tentoroclivus angle, defined as the angle between a line
drawn along the tentorium and one drawn along the clivus (c–c' in Figure 2a); 5) clivovermian
angle, defined as the angle between a line drawn along the clivus and the maximum craniocaudal
vermian diameter. Specification of the procedure for the calculation of the tentorovermian and
the clivovermian angles is important. As evident from Figure 2, in normal conditions the
tentorovermian angle is open posteriorly, while the clivovermian angle is open anteriorly.
However, in Dandy–Walker malformation, the upward rotation of the vermis can be so great that
the angles are reversed. In these cases, if the major axis of the vermis crossed that of the
tentorium or the clivus, the angle was considered to be negative.
In seven cases (two controls, two Dandy–Walker malformation, one Dandy–Walker variant and
two megacisterna magna), the patient had undergone both ultrasound and MRI on the same day.
In these cases, all measurements performed sonographically were also measured on the MRI
scans and the results were compared.
Statistical analysis
Statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 8.0 package for Windows (SPSS, Chicago, IL,
USA). Non-parametric statistics, including the Mann–Whitney U-test and the Kruskal–Wallis
test, were employed to assess differences in means due to the non-normal distribution of the
cases. Spearman's rho correlation coefficient was used to assess the differences between
ultrasound-derived and MRI-derived values and the inter- and intraobserver variability in the
measurement of the various angles. Inter- and intraobserver variability was assessed in an
arbitrary sample of 10 affected and 10 normal fetuses: still images of the reference views were
stored in a directory, then each of the two authors opened the image and measured the angles
separately. The same procedure was repeated by one of the authors who was blinded to his
previous results. P-values < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Confidence intervals
for all measurements were calculated.

The mean gestational age at ultrasound examination was 26 (SD, 5; range, 18–37) weeks in the
control group and 25 (SD, 5; range, 19–36) weeks in the group of affected fetuses. In the latter
group, 13/20 fetuses were seen prior to 24 weeks of gestation (4/5 with Dandy–Walker
malformation, 7/8 with Dandy–Walker variant and 2/7 with megacisterna magna). The five
variables were assessed with respect to their usefulness in differentiating between fetuses with
Dandy–Walker malformation, Dandy–Walker variant and megacisterna magna, and between
affected fetuses and normal ones. Since the performance of the VA/BPD ratio was not different
from that of the VD/BPD ratio, and the latter is less prone to measurement errors, the former was
excluded from further evaluation. Of all the assessed variables, only the maximum craniocaudal
vermian diameter showed a positive linear correlation with advancing gestational age (r = 0.922;
Figure 3).

The differences detected in the anatomical landmarks in the various abnormalities of the
posterior fossa are shown in Figure 2b–d. The descriptive statistics of the four assessed variables
(tentoroclivus angle, tentorovermian angle, clivovermian angle, vermian diameter/BPD ratio) in
the four subsets of cases (normal fetuses and those with Dandy–Walker malformation, Dandy–
Walker variant or megacisterna magna) are summarized in Table 1. Dandy–Walker
malformation was found to be characterized by gross upward displacement of the tentorium
(tentoroclivus angle: P < 0.001 vs. normal, P < 0.01 vs. Dandy–Walker variant and P < 0.05 vs.
megacisterna magna) and by a significantly hypoplastic vermis (VD/BPD ratio: P < 0.001 vs.
normal, P < 0.01 vs. megacisterna magna and P < 0.05 vs. Dandy–Walker variant) (Figure 2d).
The upward rotation of the vermis characteristic of Dandy–Walker malformation
(tentorovermian and clivovermis angles) did not reach statistical significance due to the small
number of fetuses (n = 5) and the wide range of rotation angles. Dandy–Walker variant was
found to be characterized by an underdeveloped vermis, though less so than Dandy–Walker
malformation (P < 0.05), by an upward rotation of the vermis (P < 0.001 vs. normal) and by the
absence of any upward displacement of the tentorium (Figure 2c). In comparison with normal
fetuses, those with megacisterna magna showed only a moderate increase in the clivovermian
angle (P < 0.05; Figure 2b).

The prenatal ultrasound recognition of cerebellar abnormalities has always been based upon the
appearance of the posterior fossa on axial views of the fetal head. Despite several publications on
the differential diagnosis of malformations of the posterior fossa7–11, 13, the mid-sagittal view
routinely employed postnatally to classify these anomalies has generally been sought prenatally
only to create normative curves of vermian diameters and area14, 15. The main aim of this study
was to demonstrate that the key anatomical features of the three most frequent fetal abnormalities
of the posterior fossa, Dandy–Walker malformation, Dandy–Walker variant and megacisterna
magna, can be detected and quantified prenatally by ultrasound. We focused on simple
anatomical landmarks that would be easy to detect and to measure on the mid-sagittal ultrasound
image of the fetal head (tentorium, maximum craniocaudal vermian diameter, clivus); at the
same time, we discarded other measurements that, in our experience, despite their important
prognostic significance and other authors' results16, showed a higher intraobserver variability,
such as the pons diameter or the pons–fastigium distance. The measurements proposed in this
study allowed us to detect the upward rotation of the vermis, the upward displacement of the
tentorium and the occurrence of vermian hypoplasia (Figure 2 and Table 1) that represent the key
features of severe cerebellar anomalies1, 2. By studying how and by how much these four
parameters differed in the various abnormalities of the posterior fossa in comparison with the
normal situation, it was possible to demonstrate in the fetus using 3D ultrasound that Dandy–
Walker malformation is characterized by gross upward displacement of the tentorium and severe
hypoplasia of the vermis. As for the counterclockwise rotation of the vermis characteristic of
Dandy–Walker malformation in postnatal life1, 2, it did not reach statistical significance due to
the small number of fetuses with Dandy–Walker malformation in the series. We were also able
to demonstrate that Dandy–Walker variant shows a lesser degree of vermian hypoplasia, and that
it often shares with Dandy–Walker malformation the upward rotation of the vermis, but lacks the
displacement of the tentorium, due to the smaller fluid collection in the posterior fossa. All these
features are consistent with those detected by MRI in the fetus and neonate1–4, 9, 17, but, to the
best of our knowledge, this is the first time that their occurrence has been objectively assessed in
the fetus by ultrasound.
The sonographic recognition of vermian hypoplasia, upward rotation of the vermis and upward
displacement of the tentorium also has prognostic significance, because the degree of vermian
hypoplasia has been demonstrated to correlate significantly with the occurrence and severity of
mental retardation18, 19. However, it should be underscored that our data do not allow us to
address the thorny issue of the classification of cerebellar abnormalities1, 2, 20, nor was it our
original idea to do so. Our aim was only to provide additional tools that may be used in the
comparison of ultrasound and MRI images of fetal malformations of the posterior fossa and,
possibly, in the assessment of their natural history. In this respect, the good correlation between
ultrasound-derived and MRI-derived values (all correlation coefficients > 0.90), if confirmed in
larger series, may contribute to a better combined ultrasound/MRI follow-up of the fetus/neonate
with vermian malformations. This comparison was not performed in order to challenge the
apparent superior diagnostic performance of MRI, which, unlike ultrasound, may detect
myelinization abnormalities, diagnose reliably associated brain-stem hypoplasia, and
differentiate confidently between partial agenesis and hypoplasia of the vermis3, 4, 11, 17.
However, in the fetus, the diagnosis of cerebellar anomalies relies almost entirely on ultrasound
as a first-line technique and only referral centers have the possibility to integrate MRI into the
diagnostic process. Therefore, we believed the possibility to develop a set of morphometric
measures able to characterize and differentiate the various abnormalities of the posterior fossa on
ultrasound examination to be of interest.
A correlation between gestational age and one of the measured variables was observed: the
maximum craniocaudal vermian diameter. The positive linear correlation (Figure 3)
demonstrated by our data is in close agreement with the results published recently by Zalel et
al.15.
Our choice of 3D rather than conventional 2D ultrasound in the assessment of posterior fossa and
vermian anatomy requires discussion. In our opinion, there are at least two advantages provided
by 3D ultrasound. The first is the possibility of offline navigation of the volume21, which allows,
thanks to multiplanar imaging, fine calibration of the slice to be used for reference and
measurements. The second is the possibility of selecting different rendering filters in order to
improve the visibility of the various anatomical landmarks, such as the tentorium cerebelli. After
evaluating most of the possible rendering modes and filters, we found that the combination of the
static VCI modality with multiplanar imaging was the best in terms of focus, calibration and
image detail. Technically, because the VCI image consists of a slice 2–3 mm in thickness, the
overlay of various thinner slices enhances the signal-to-background noise ratio. This in turn
improves both the resolution and the contrast in comparison with the 2D ultrasound image,
which is 1 pixel in thickness (Figure 1). This approach was therefore used in the evaluation of all
volumes.
This study had a number of limitations, the first being the relatively small number of cases,
especially for Dandy–Walker malformation; this was because, due to the prospective design of
the study and the ultrasound approach used (i.e. assessed from the posterior fontanelle by 3D
ultrasound in the VCI mode), we could enrol into the study only patients seen in the last 2 years.
Another important limitation of the investigation is that, in the case of Dandy–Walker variant,
the real axis of the craniocaudal vermian diameter is not well defined, due to the fact that in this
anomaly it is the posteroinferior part of the vermis that is underdeveloped. This may lead to an
error in the measurement of the various angles, which, in turn, may lead to an overestimation of
the counterclockwise rotation of the vermis. In this situation, the assessment of the linear
distance between the uppermost part of the culmen and the tentorium, which is reduced on
upward rotation of the vermis (the tentorium is almost never displaced in Dandy–Walker variant)
may help in identifying the correct vermian axis. Finally, the number of cases in which the
ultrasound–MRI comparison could be carried out was limited (n = 7), due to the fact that in the
other cases, the fetuses did not undergo MRI and 3D sonography on the same day.
In conclusion, we have demonstrated how abnormalities of the cerebellar vermis and posterior
fossa can be differentiated sonographically thanks to the employment of a set of morphometric
parameters (tentoroclivus, tentorovermian and clivovermian angles and VD/BPD × 100 ratio).
By using these measurements on the mid-sagittal plane of the fetal head obtained by 3D
ultrasound it was possible for the first time to quantify in the fetus the volumetric and
topographic changes of the posterior fossa and its content that have been described postnatally
for Dandy–Walker malformation, Dandy–Walker variant and megacisterna magna. In a small
series of cases, it was also possible to demonstrate good correlation between MRI and 3D
ultrasound for these measurements. We hope that these findings may contribute to creating a
bridge between fetal ultrasound findings and those on neonatal MRI.
