Abstract Keywords Foetus Occipitum–dens line New . . Purpose The aims of this study were to describe a new ultra- ultrasonographic landmark Posterior fossa malformations sonographic technique to assess the normal level of the cere- Myelomeningocele bellum and the brainstem in the posterior fossa in normal foetuses and to compare in pathologic cases. Methods We propose a new line cross between the dens cer- vical and the inferior portion of occipitum (occipitum–dens line—ODL). In a cross-sectional study, a single observer with Introduction experience in foetal neurosonography evaluated 54 foetuses (40 normal and 14 with open neural tube defect) between 20 The normal anatomic structures of the posterior fossa and its and 28 weeks of gestation.
