Abstract: A recently described feature of cerebellar vermian dysplasia, the cerebellar "vermian tail", is a morphologically distinctive dysplasia of the nodular lobule of the posterior cerebellum that is appreciable on prenatal imaging. The vermian tail has been described in both human cases of Dandy-Walker malformation, as well as in a mouse model for Dandy-Walker malformation.

Abstract: Intradiploic hematoma was first reported in 1934 by Chorbski and Davis. It usually occurs after a mild trauma where a small bleeding accumulates within the diploe in between the tabula interna and externa of the skull. It is to be differentiated from calcified or ossified cephalhematoma. The bleeding in cephalhematoma is subperiosteal and tends to resorb spontaneously within 3-6 months in comparison to intradiploic hematoma which needs a surgical intervention.
