Updates to Case Attributes

Status changed from draft to published (unlisted).
Visibility changed from public to unlisted.
Published At was set to .
Body was changed:

Normal fetal MRI brain, apart from cerebellum on 5th centile in size but of normal morphology. Note acute angle on posterior aspect of Sylvian fissure, further opercularization evident on all three planes,

Compare with normal fetal brain MRI scans at 22 weeks and clear development of central sulcus. Well developed hippocampal sulci noted on coronal images. Lamination is still present but less evidentat 24 weeks gestation.
