Legends: GA = gestational age in weeks, ED = signs of ependymal denudation at the aqueduct or cranial border of the aqueduct, V = ventriculomegaly, hc = head circumference, HC = hydrocephalus, Chiari II = Chiari II malformation, HemoP = hemosiderophagocytosis, + = present, - = absent, IV = Chiari IV malformation (absence of the cerebellum), ¶ = serial sections at the aqueduct incomplete, f = forking, s = slit like.
