Key Points

The research aims to evaluate imaging patterns associated with congenital posterior fossa malformations and their diagnostic implications.
Utilized antenatal ultrasound (US) and fetal MRI for assessment.
Employed postnatal imaging techniques for diagnosis.
Conducted morphological assessments for pattern recognition and correlation with genetics.
Improved accuracy in diagnosing congenital posterior fossa malformations.
Identified specific imaging patterns linked to genetic variations.
Facilitated targeted genetic testing based on imaging findings.

Implication

Imaging advances reveal diagnostic patterns in congenital malformations, indicating improved management strategies.

Abstract

Advances in genetics and imaging including antenatal US, fetal MRI, and postnatal imaging enable detailed morphological assessment of congenital posterior fossa malformations, pattern recognition, and genotype-phenotype correlation, thereby supporting accurate diagnosis and guiding targeted genetic testing and clinical management.
