Jun 15, 2023 · Cerebellar agenesis is a descriptive term implying complete absence of the cerebellum, irrespective of its underlying cause (etiology). Usually, small remnants of the cerebellum are present; therefore, the term subtotal cerebellar agenesis is also used in …

Cerebellar agenesis is a rare condition in which a brain develops without the cerebellum. The cerebellum controls smooth movement, and when it does not develop, the rest of the brain must compensate, which it cannot do completely. [1]

Sep 5, 2023 · What is Cerebellar Agenesis? Cerebellar agenesis is a condition in which the normal formation of the hindbrain is disrupted. Patients with this disorder have very few pieces...

Complete cerebellar agenesis is an extremely rare condition characterized by the complete absence of cerebellar tissue. Only a small number of cases have been reported, with varying motor and cognitive deficits. We describe a case of an 11-month-old ...

Feb 25, 2020 · Cerebellar agenesis is a rare congenital abnormality which can result from failure to develop normal cerebellar tissue or destruction of normally developed tissue. For a more general overview of cerebellar malformations, please refer to the article on classification systems for malformations of the cerebellum .

Cerebellar agenesis is an extremely rare condition in which patients show minute cerebellar tissue, usually corresponding to remnants of the lower cerebellar peduncles, anterior vermal lobules, and flocculi.

Cerebellar agenesis (CA) is an extremely rare entity. We present two adult patients with CA. The 61-year-old man had ataxia, dysarthria, abnormalities in cerebellar tests, severe cognitive impairment, and moderate mental retardation.

Aug 22, 2014 · Here we report a new case of a living patient whom we believe to be another patient with cerebellar agenesis. Cerebellar agenesis is an extremely rare condition implying complete absence of the cerebellum. The pathogenesis and molecular basis of this disease remain unknown.

Apr 1, 1990 · The Dandy-Walker syndrome consists of three abnormalities of development: 1) Partial or complete agenesis of the vermis of the cerebellum; 2) cystic formation in the posterior fossa communicating with the fourth ventricle; and 3) hydrocephalus.

Here we present an update on the genetic causes for cerebellar malformations that can be recognized by neuroimaging and clinical characteristics during the prenatal and postnatal periods.
