β¦ Synopsis
We present 16 cases, 10 de novo and 6 familial, in which extra structurally abnormal chromosomes (ESACs) were diagnosed prenatally and identified by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies with follow up from birth. We review the literature on prenatally diagnosed ESACs arising de novo and suggest a management protocol for these cases.

The fetal cerebellar structure, size and consistency are looked at in every system survey. Among the acquired cerebellar events that might change the cerebellar consistency are haemorrhage, infections in utero and neoplasia. Additional fetal malformations, if present, assist in making the final diag
