Rhombencephalosynapsis is a congenital abnormality of the cerebellum characterized by absence of the vermis and continuity of the cerebellar hemispheres, dentate nuclei, and superior cerebellar peduncles. It either occurs as an isolated anomaly (rare) or as part of wider cerebral malformation and it has variable degrees of neurological impairment Pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH), also referred as pontocerebellar hypoplasia of Barth, is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by hypoplasia of the pons and cerebellum. Actually, this condition has 10 different described subtypes, all of them with a prenatal onset 3 Some classification systems for focal cortical dysplasia have been devised over the years since the first description in 1971 by Taylor et al. 5. The most common classification used until recently was the histopathological system proposed by Palmini et al. 6 in 2004 a genetic/imaging classification by Barkovich et al. 2 in 2005 Cerebellar dysplasia may be associated with cerebellar hypoplasia, hence, their inclusion in this article. Disorders associated with large cerebellar size are rare and are mentioned briefly. Cerebellar hypoplasia is a feature of several neurodevelopmental disorders and occurs during fetal life

Typical cerebellar cortical dysplasia as a newly categorized cerebellar malformation, has been seen in patients with Fukuyama congenital muscular dystrophy. Cerebellar cortical dysplasia occurs at the embryonic stage and is often observed in healthy newborns. It is also incidentally and initially detected in adults without symptoms Purpose: Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) has been widely studied in hemispheric stroke but is less characterized in epilepsy. In this study, we used 18 F-FDG PET/CT to investigate the risk factors for CCD and its prognostic value for intractable epilepsy caused by focal cortical dysplasia (FCD).. Methods: One hundred medically intractable epilepsy patients pathologically diagnosed with FCD. In spite of having many classifications for pediatric cerebellar malformations (PCMs), no broadly accepted classification is recommended. Associated neurodevelopmental outcomes in children with PCMs remain poorly defined. Neuroimaging is compulsory for the diagnosis of cerebellar malformation and their associated abnormalities. This article emphasizes on the clinical and radiological traits of. Cerebellar ataxia is a motor ataxia (failure of motor coordination) with strength preserved.
