‘Choroid bar’: easy‐to‐seek marker of normal posterior fossa at 12–14 weeks' gestation

We have described a new sign, the choroid bar, consistent with a normal posterior fossa at 12-14 weeks' gestation. The choroid bar provides the option of screening for major abnormalities of the posterior fossa, since its absence raises suspicion of both open spinal dysraphisms and posterior fossa cystic malformations. At the same time, it is easy to visualize, as it can be seen with all lines of insonation. © 2023 International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology.
