Prenatal magnetic resonance imaging within the 26th week of gestation may predict the fate of isolated upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis: Insights from a multicentre study
European Radiology Jan 10, 2020
ConteLuca G, Caschera L, Parazzini C, et al. - Researchers conducted a retrospective multicentre observational study that involved foetuses diagnosed with isolated upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis (URCV) in prenatal MRI performed within 26 gestations (GW) in order to examine whether prenatal MRI within 26 GW may predict the fate of isolated URCV. Isolated URCV was described by a brainstem-vermis angle (BVA) in the MR midline sagittal view with no abnormalities of the supratentorial structures, brainstem, or cerebellum hemispheres. A total of 45 foetuses were involved. Under the reference standard, in 26 cases, the vermis was de-rotated. It was found in most cases that MRI within 26 GW on foetuses diagnosed with isolated URCV might prognosticate delayed cerebellar vermis de-rotation, which was correlated with good neurodevelopmental results.
