Cerebellar agenesis revisited.
New clinical and employment information, together with over-looked previously published information, on a patient (H.C.) is reviewed. H.C., who died at the age of 76 in 1939, was found, by chance during anatomical dissection, to lack a cerebellum. This synthesis challenges an unusual and interesting account of cerebellar agenesis published in Brain in 1994 by Glickstein (see also Glickstein, 20...
متن کاملFamilial agenesis of the cerebellar vermis
SOME TWO YEARS AGO we investigated a child with profound psychomotor retardation who had had an occipital meningoencephalocele removed at birth. Contrast studies were carried out which showed a large midline defect in the posterior fossa and absence of the vermis. At the time we disregarded the nurses’ comments about the child’s abnormal breathing. A year later, Dr. P. P. Demers referred this p...
متن کاملCerebellar contributions to self-motion perception: evidence from patients with congenital cerebellar agenesis.
The cerebellum was historically considered a brain region dedicated to motor control, but it has become clear that it also contributes to sensory processing, particularly when sensory discrimination is required. Prior work, for example, has demonstrated a cerebellar contribution to sensory discrimination in the visual and auditory systems. The cerebellum also receives extensive inputs from the ...
متن کاملA new case of complete primary cerebellar agenesis: clinical and imaging findings in a living patient.
Sir, We read with great interest the articles previously published in Brain by Glickstein (1994) and Boyd (2010) describing the clinical evidence and review of cerebellar agenesis. 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 pathog...
متن کاملManual Therapies Promote Continence and Mobility in a Patient with Cerebellar Agenesis
Objective: Present single case study of a 26 year old female with congenital agenesis of cerebellum and other congenital malformations who achieved fecal continence and measurable mobility improvements following a prolonged series of craniosacral therapy. Design: Retrospective review of data based on several interviews with the patient’s mother, her primary caregiver and review of the medical r...
