Nervous System Disorders
= characterized by absence of vermis + continuity of cerebellar hemispheres, dentate nuclei, superior cerebellar peduncles
Associated with: Gómez-López-Hernández syndrome (parietal alopecia, trigeminal anesthesia, craniofacial dysmorphic signs); VACTERL
- truncal ± limb ataxia, delayed motor development
- abnormal eye movements
- agenesis or hypogenesis of vermis
- keyhole-shaped fourth ventricle ← horseshoe-shaped arch across midline ← fusion (continuity) of cerebellar hemispheres + superior cerebellar peduncles + dentate nuclei
- abnormal transverse orientation of cerebellar foliae
Prognosis: varying between severe impairment and normalcy
