Q

The cisterna magna is enlarged if it measures more than:

a. 5mm
b. 7mm
c. 10mm
d. 12mm

A

C
A cisterna magna with an AP dimension greater than 10mm can indicate Dandy-Walker malformation or mega cisterna magna. If the AP measurements is less than 2mm, Arnold Chiari II malformation could be present.

Q

Which cranial structure is considered abnormal if it increases in size between ultrasound exams performed at 20 and 28 weeks?

a. choroid plexus
b. thalamus
c. cerebellum
d. lateral ventricle

A

D
The lateral ventricles are usually consistent in size throughout pregnancy. An increase in size between serial exams can indicate a developing problem with CNS drainage.
