In contrast to Dandy-Walker malformation, the vermian maldevelopment in this anomaly is characterized by an absence of the anterior vermis and a deficiency of the posterior vermis. The cerebellar hemispheres are fused. In an attempt to identify the pathogenesis of these anatomic manifestations, we question the traditional concept of the embryologic development of the cerebellar primordium.

Extractions: (advertisement) Synonyms, Key Words, and Related Terms: Dandy-Walker syndrome, Dandy-Walker cyst, Dandy-Walker deformity, Luschka-Magendie foramina atresia Background: Dandy-Walker malformation is a rare congenital malformation and involves the cerebellum and fourth ventricle. The condition is characterized by agenesis or hypoplasia of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and enlargement of the posterior fossa. A large number of concomitant problems may be present, but the syndrome exists whenever these 3 features are found. Approximately 70-90% of patients have hydrocephalus, which often develops postnatally. Dandy-Walker malformation may be associated with atresia of the foramen of Magendie and, possibly, the foramen of Luschka. Dandy-Walker malformation first was described by Dandy and Blackfan in 1914. Since the original description, additional studies have reported on the various morphologic features of the syndrome. Not until 1954 did Benda first emphasize that atresia of the cerebellar outlet foramina is not an essential feature of the condition and suggested the now widely accepted term Dandy-Walker malformation. Studies by DAgostino in 1963 and Hart et al in 1972 further defined the characteristic triad of Dandy-Walker malformation as consisting of (1) complete or partial agenesis of the vermis, (2) cystic dilatation of the fourth ventricle, and (3) an enlarged posterior fossa with upward displacement of lateral sinuses, tentorium, and torcular herophili. The triad typically is found in association with supratentorial hydrocephalus, which should be considered a complication rather than part of the malformation complex.

(Campto- means flex). #Cavum septi pellucidi and cavum Vergae: As the corpus callosum grows, the banks of the median groove ventral to the callosum separate to form a small pocket that develops into the cavum septum pellucidi (also kown as 5 th ventricle), a space that persists until term and that gradually narrows to a potential space in the adult. Persistence of the cavum septi pellucidi, and its posterior extension the cavum vergae are not malformations. The cavum septi pellucidi and cavum vergae should not be communicating with the ventricles. #Cephalocele (encephalocele): a herniation of cranial contents through a skull defect. #Cerebellar dysplasia: I prefer to limit this term to abnormal formation of the cerebellar gyri and/or dentate nuclei in order to distinguish this entity from cerebellar heterotopia.

Z General #Agenesis: the complete absence of an organ and its associated primordium. #Agenesis of corpus callosum: Clinical features: Agenesis of corpus callosum is often associated with marked ventricular dilatation and a large head. Agenesis of the corpus callosum should be reserved to the cases when mechanism(s) by which the axons of the corpus callosum cross the midline in the usual position are absent of deficient (i.e., the agenesis is a primary event but not secondary to other damage or malformation of the neurons or axons up stream to the callosal axons). Probst bundle can be found. Lipomas and hamartomas: The association of hamartomas and lipomas in some cases support the hypothesis that agenesis of corpus callosum in these cases may be resulted from disruption of outgrowth of corpus callosum by mechanical obstruction. Since the corpus callosum develops in an anterior to posterior fashion, partial agenesis usually involves the posterior part while complete agenesis involves both anterior and posterior portions. If the anterior part of the corpus callosum is absent but the posterior part is present, a destructive mechanism should be seriously considerd. Complete or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum rarely exists as an isolated entity. They are associated with many different malformations of the brain with Aicardi syndrome as the prototype. Agenesis of corpus callosum also has increased association with a midline mass such as lipoma, meningioma, cysts, and hamartoma. They also have increased association with visceral abnormalities.

Joubert syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by abnormal respiratory pattern and eye movements, hypotonia, ataxia, developmental retardation with neuropathologic abnormalities of cerebellum and brainstem. We report a case of Joubert syndrome presenting in the neonatal period. Although previously described in Indian literature(1), this is probably the first case report of Joubert syndrome in a neonate from our country. Case Report A 12-hour-old term baby boy born to a second gravida mother was admitted with history of respiratory distress since 4 hours of age. The infant was the product of a second degree consanguineous marriage. The first pregnancy of the mother ended in an

Extractions: Coordinator: Phillip F. Chance, MD In addition, there are several related conditions with retinal, renal, and/or hepatic manifestations that share the molar tooth sign on MRI, thereby increasing the prevalence of this distinctive hindbrain malformation. Other developmental disorders of the cerebellum of interest to this Research Emphasis Area (REA) that are distinct from the molar tooth group of disorders include the Dandy-Walker malformation and Dandy-Walker variants, a relatively prevalent group of hindbrain disorders consisting of partial agenesis of the cerebellar vermis, cystic dilatation of the 4th ventricle of the brain, and hydrocephalus. Pontocerebellar hypoplasia and cerebellar hypoplasia are poorly understood disorders characterized by congenital malformations and/or early-onset atrophy of the pons and/or cerebellum, a heterogeneous group of conditions which may be associated with other birth defects in some cases. In contrast to the dogma that the cerebellum has a limited role in cognitive development, learning delays and/or mental retardation are almost universal in individuals with Joubert syndrome and many of these cerebellar malformation conditions. The Joubert syndrome REA represents an interdisciplinary collaboration by investigators with the shared purpose to understand cerebellar malformation conditions and their impact on learning.
Extractions: The corpus callosum is the largest connection pathway in the human brain. It is made of more than 200 million nerve fibers that connect the left and right hemispheres of the brain. The corpus callosum allows the sides of the brain to "communicate" with each other and coordinate their efforts. Each hemisphere of the brain is specialized to control movement and feeling of the opposite half of the body, and each hemisphere specializes in processing certain types of information, such as language or spatial patterns. In order for the corpus to coordinate movement or think about complex information, the hemispheres must communicate with each other, and the corpus callosum is the main connector that allows that communication.
