"There may also be evidence of fetal ventriculomegaly due to obstructive effects as a result of downward cerebellar herniation.Additionally, many of the associated malformations (e.g. corpus callosal dysgenesis) may be identified."

Line 82:135 · 'n.A' should have one space.

Emphasis

warning

"While Chiari 1 malformation is thought to result from a small posterior fossa, Chiari 2 occurs due to in utero malformation of the spine and cranial structures, resulting in a characteristic displacement of the medulla, fourth ventricle, and cerebellum through the foramen magnum."

Line 31:106 · Italics should be used only in exceptional circumstances: 'in utero'

"As almost all neonatal patients with Chiari 2 have myelomeningocele, it has been suggested that the underlying aetiology is that of in utero CSF leak due to open spinal dysraphism. Older patients with Chiari 2 without myelomeningocele are thought to have had either a smaller neural tube defect or subsequent closure of the defect in utero."
