Fig. 3

Post-mortem ultrasound images of the brain, in coronal section (top row), with matched T2-weighted post-mortem MRI images (bottom row) performed on the same day, in a foetus at 21 weeks gestation, 9 days after death. These have been obtained through the frontal lobe (a, d), at the level of the Foramen of Monro (b, e) and through the posterior horns of the lateral ventricles (c, f). The pregnancy was terminated for suspected foetal ventriculomegaly and an absent corpus callosum. From the post-mortem ultrasound, the ventriculomegaly was well depicted before the MRI was performed, and a corpus callosum was in fact present (white arrows)
