Abstract
The early and adequate recognition of associated or presumed non-associated/incidental imaging findings have a significant impact on decision making of intrauterine corrective surgical procedures. The association between a spinal dysraphia and the occurrence of a Chiari 2 malformation (C2M) are linked to the mechanical consequences of a venting/leakage of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) from the developing caudal embryonic rhombencepalic and metencephalic vesicles during early fetal life. This unified theory does not explain the entire spectrum of anatomical abnormalities that may be observed on imaging.
