FIG 4. Sonograms obtained in a neonate with a presumptive diagnosis of posterior fossa malformation at prenatal sonography.

A, AF midline sagittal view shows a cystic image (asterisk) in the posterior fossa behind the cerebellum.

B, PF midline sagittal view clearly demonstrates that the lesion corresponds to a megacisterna magna, depicting the normal-sized cerebellum vermis and fourth ventricle. Note that the cystic lesion (asterisk) extends around the cerebellum without compressing it, as often occurs with arachnoid cysts.
