The common infratentorial congenital malformations of the brain were analyzed with magnetic resonance imaging at the Children's Memorial Hospital in Chicago over a 2-year period. Over 200 children with one of the following congenital malformations were imaged using magnetic resonance: Dandy-Walker malformations, Chiari malformations, and cerebellar aplasia-hypoplasia malformations. The characteristic findings in each of these disorders are described based on the magnetic resonance image scans along with the clinical spectrum.
