[Abstract] Objectives: To study the growth curve of the fetal cerebellar vermis in different gestational age.Materials and Methods: Sixty-three fetuses (15-40 gestational weeks) were scanned by 3.0 T magnetic resonance, in which 52 cases met the measurement requirements. Scanning sequence: T1WI, T2WI. Scanning plane: Sagittal, Coronal, Axial. Measurement: the antero-posterior diameter (APD), the height of anterior and posterior vermis. The linear regression between the gestational age and parameters mentioned above was analyzed.Results: The antero-posterior diameter, the height of anterior and posterior vermis were positively correlated with gestational age. The height of anterior vermis slightly higher than posterior vermis, the primary and infero-posterior fissure could clearly displayed in the most middle sagittal plane, P<0.05.Conclusions: The normal performance and growth curve of the fetal cerebellar vermis can be described by MR imaging after 17 weeks.
