Neuroanatomical MRI study: reference values for the measurements of brainstem, cerebellar vermis, and peduncles.
CONCLUSION: This study provides age-specific normal mean values for various linear dimensions and ratios of the posterior fossa structures with documentation of measurements' variability according to gender, age, and their interaction.
ADVANCES IN KNOWLEDGE: It provides a valuable reference in the clinical practice for easier differentiation between physiological and pathological conditions of the posterior fossa structures especially various neurodegenerative diseases and congenital anomalies.
