Cerebellar herniation demonstrated by the occipitum‐dens line: Ultrasonography assessment of normal fetuses, fetuses with myelomeningocele, and fetuses that underwent antenatal myelomeningocele surgery

To establish a method to quantify the position of the cerebellum by ultrasonography in normal fetuses, fetuses with myelomeningocele (MMC), and fetuses that underwent in utero MMC repair.
