1. To lock in the perfect anterior plane before measuring the TCD, which landmarks are absolutely non-negotiable?
2. What is the absolute golden rule for normal Transcerebellar Diameter (TCD) measurements in the second trimester?
3. You notice the cerebellum has lost its classic "dumbbell/butterfly" shape and looks curved around the brainstem. What's this red flag called?
4. You measure a abnormally small TCD and notice the cisterna magna is practically invisible. What does this posterior fossa crowding strongly suggest?
