What should be done if there is an absence of the vermis in the fetal cerebellum on a four-dimensional color ultrasound?

Patient's question:

Four-dimensional color Doppler ultrasound shows a defect in the vermis of the fetal cerebellum, widened left posterior fossa cistern (width 10.2), right posterior fossa cistern width 4.2, and the posterior fossa is connected to the fifth ventricle.

Doctor's answer:

I am glad to help you clarify this. Based on your description and the images provided: The posterior fossa is 10.2 mm. The right fossa is 4.2 mm wide, and the vermis of the cerebellum is missing. This situation requires further follow-up examinations. How was the Down syndrome screening? If the screening is abnormal, it is important to follow the doctor's advice. Let the neonatal surgery experts take another look. Listen to their opinions carefully. The daily treatment for patients undergoing 4D ultrasound mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can take many oral medications, supplemented by various vitamins, and should pay attention to their diet, eating light, thin, and soft foods. We hope that the 4D ultrasound patients can recover as soon as possible! Thank you!
