Abstract

This article discusses the normal anatomy of the posterior fossa structures followed by a discussion of the characteristic neuroimaging features of a variety of cerebellar and brainstem malformations. In this context, the authors classify posterior fossa malformations based on the neuroimaging pattern into (1) predominantly cerebellar, (2) cerebellar and brainstem, and (3) predominantly brainstem malformations.
