Title:	Early Detection
Question:	Earliest gestational age for detection?
Answer:	The earliest gestational age for diagnosis is made on 22 weeks gestation after completion of the neural arches of the sacrum. Detection is based on: Indirect signs such as lemon sign, banana sign and effacement of the cisterna magna. Ventriculomegaly can be associated. Direct signs best detected on axial planes are the 'C' or 'U' shape of the affected vertebrae, due to absence of the dorsal arches. Interruption of the cutaneous contour with/without a meningocele is commonly associated.
