Abstract
The fetal cerebellar structure, size and consistency an looked at in every system survey. Among the acquired cerebellar events that might change the c erebellar consistency are haemorrhage, infections in utero and neoplasia. A dditional fetal malformations, if present, assist in making the final diagn osis. We present a case of an isolated echogenic mass in one of the cerebel lar hemispheres along with the differential diagnosis. (C) 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
