Objectives: We investigated whether prenatal magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) within 26 weeks of gestation (GW) may predict the fate of isolated upward rotation of the cerebellar vermis (URCV). Methods: This retrospective multicentre observational study included foetuses diagnosed with isolated URCV in prenatal MRI performed within 26 GW....
