Rhombencephalosynapsis: A Rare Cerebellar Malformation
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2006, Vol 23, Issue 1
Abstract
Background: Rhombencephalosynapsis is characterized by agenesis/hypogenesis of the cerebellar vermis along with the fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres in the midline. There are less than 50 cases in the literature, and adult cases are extremely rare. In this paper, an adult patient with rhombencephalosynapsis is reported. Case: A 24-year-old female was admitted with the complaint of headache. Neurological examination was completely normal, and past medical history was eventless. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed agenesis of the vermis along with the fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres. Conclusion: Although a rare malformation, rhombencephalosynapsis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of the cerebellar malformations.
