Presentation
All six children presented in the first years of life with delays in motor and language development. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The hypoplasia was severe in 5 patients, in 3 children a subtotal aplasia was present. The vermis was involved in 5 cases and in all patients a contralateral brainstem asymmetry was present. [thieme-connect.com]
Cerebellar hypoplasia is a feature of a number of congenital (present at birth) malformation syndromes, such as Walker-Warburg syndrome (a form of muscular dystrophy. [ninds.nih.gov]
At 31 weeks gestational age the pregnant woman presented false premature labor that was treated with tocolytic, uterosedative and antispastic agents. [tmj.ro]

Developmental Delay
Here we have shown that deletion of Chd7 from cerebellar granule cell progenitors (GCps) results in reduced GCp proliferation, cerebellar hypoplasia, developmental delay, and motor deficits in mice. [jci.org]
Individuals with cerebellar hypoplasia may present with developmental delay, seizures, poor balance and co-ordination, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) and learning difficulties. It may be genetic or non-genetic in origin. [brainabnormalities.org.uk]
The clinical findings, the severity of movement disorder and the developmental delay do not correlate with the degree of pontine or cerebellar hypoplasia on MRI. [rarediseases.org]
Three patients had a global developmental delay (moderate in 2 cases, mild in 1), requiring special class. Four patients had predominantly expressive language impairment, one patient severe behavioral disorder as obsessive-compulsive disorder. [thieme-connect.com]

Suggestibility
This hormonal pattern suggests a primary deficiency of the gonadotroph and lactotroph cells, rather than a hypothalamic lesion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Cerebellar hypoplasia associated with hypoplasia or aplasia of the cerebellar or vertebral arteries suggests a vascular etiology. Genetic mutations with somatic mosaicism may also have a role. [advancedradteaching.com]
These results suggest that the 2 brain anomalies were probably linked to inherited disorders coupled to some toxic and infectious causes. Keywords : Cerebellar hypoplasia, hydrocephalus, lamb, pathology Correspondence : E. [revmedvet.com]
Cardiopulmonary radiography showed a fixed elevation of the right diaphragm suggesting a congenital right phrenic nerve paresis with a peribronchovascular trauma. [tmj.ro]

Cerebellar Ataxia
Abstract The association of cerebellar ataxia and non-neurological syndromes is a well known phenomenon. A 20-year-old male patient presented with a longstanding and non-progressive ataxia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
These are a heterogeneous group of ataxias caused by: malformation and hypoplasias of the cerebellum: usually autosomal dominant inheritance onset during childhood characterised by hypotonia and cerebellar ataxia IQ is normal good prognosis, some improve [gpnotebook.co.uk]
These subjects show signs of cerebellar ataxia and are mentally retarded. MRI analysis demonstrated hypoplasia of the cerebellum and the cerebellar vermis as well as a small nucleus dentatus and a thin corpus callosum but no other malformations. [jmg.bmj.com]

Nystagmus
Individuals with cerebellar hypoplasia may present with developmental delay, seizures, poor balance and co-ordination, involuntary eye movements (nystagmus) and learning difficulties. It may be genetic or non-genetic in origin. [brainabnormalities.org.uk]
She is also having episodes of nystagmus. Rapid eye movement, which is an indication of something going on with her brain. [youcaring.com]
Intellectual disability and cerebellar signs of visual impairment, nystagmus and ataxia follow the initial presentation. [rarediseases.org]

Dysarthria
A neurological syndrome became evident by 5 to 7 years of age and included cerebellar ataxia, dysarthria, and external ophthalmoplegia; there were no symptoms of mental retardation, spastic paraparesis, or sensory loss. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment
Treatment There is no standard course of treatment for cerebellar hypoplasia. Treatment depends upon the underlying disorder and the severity of symptoms. Generally, treatment is symptomatic and supportive. [ninds.nih.gov]
Research into the causes, symptoms and treatments of cerebrellar hypoplasia is ongoing and researchers hope to find more effective treatments and ultimately, a cure for some of the most common underlying causes. [medic8.com]
Treatment : none. Prognosis : guarded for normal life although many kittens survive with good quality of life. Pathogenesis Etiology In-utero infection with feline panleukopenia virus Feline panleucopenia virus disease. [vetstream.com]
The treatment is “symptomatic and supportive” in nature, so we’ll just keep doing what we’re doing. Right now she’s being followed by a couple of specialists, undergoing physical therapy, and eating as much as she can. [rachkincaid.com]

Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis is dependent upon the underlying disorder. Some of the disorders that are associated with cerebellar hypoplasia are progressive, which means the condition will worsen over time, and will most likely have a poor prognosis. [ninds.nih.gov]
These are a heterogeneous group of ataxias caused by: malformation and hypoplasias of the cerebellum: usually autosomal dominant inheritance onset during childhood characterised by hypotonia and cerebellar ataxia IQ is normal good prognosis, some improve [gpnotebook.co.uk]
In cases affecting foetal brain development, treatment may improve the prognosis dramatically. [medic8.com]
The prognosis is based on the type/cause, so we don’t want this to exaggerate as she grows. The cerebellum affects a whole host of functions and is referred to as the “movement control center.” [rachkincaid.com]

Etiology
The etiology of cerebellar hypoplasia is not definitely known. Pathologic evidence of cerebellar injury due to birth asphyxia has been described. [advancedradteaching.com]

• The etiology of cerebellar hypoplasia is diverse and includes various syndromes, genetic diseases, chromosomal abnormalities, and metabolic disorders. • Prenatal disruptions of cerebellar development may mimic primary cerebellar hypoplasia. • Disorganized [medlink.com]
