Abstract
The examination of the cerebellum is an integral part of prenatal second trimester ultrasound. During the examination the transcerebellar diameter, the size of the posterior fossa, and the presence of the vermis are studied. The diferential diagnosis between a normal cerebellum, its different normal variants, and some pathologies are discussed, including possible pitfalls.
