[Anormalies of the fetal posterior fossa during second trimester--diagnosis and management]
Six cases of Dandy-Walker malformation are presented. Five of them, diagnosed in 18-20 gestation weeks, respectively ended up in intermission of the pregnancy in second trimester and one case, diagnosed in 29-30 gestation weeks ended up in giving birth to a hypotrophical foetus in a good general state. The opportunities for diagnosis by 2D/3D echography have been considered in accordance with the new classification of abnormality of the fetal posterior fossa fluid collections. This is a clinical approach and a possible way out for the pregnancy and the new-born baby.

Cranial Bones: Superior and Posterior View
The frontal bone is the single bone that forms the forehead. At its anterior midline, between the eyebrows, there is a slight depression called the glabella. The frontal bone also forms the supraorbital margin of the orbit. Near the middle of this margin is the supraorbital foramen, the opening that provides passage for a sensory nerve to the forehead. The frontal bone is thickened just above each supraorbital margin,...
Sutures of the Skull
Sutures are immobile joints between adjacent bones of the skull. The narrow gap between the bones is filled with dense, fibrous connective tissue that unites the bones. The long sutures located between the skull bones are not straight but instead follow irregular, tightly twisting paths. These twisting lines tightly...
