  • Title: Agenesis of the vermis cerebelli and malformations of the posterior fossa in childhood and adolescence.
    Author: Mercuri S, Curatolo P, Giuffrè R, Di Lorenzo N.
    Journal: Neurochirurgia (Stuttg); 1979 Sep; 22(5):180-8. PubMed ID: 503277.
    Abstract:
    Three cases of cerebellar vermis agenesis are reported and the relevant literature (19 other cases) is reviewed. Other posterior fossa malformations, such as a mega-cisterna magna, arachnoid cyst and Dandy-Walker syndrome, are discussed both from the pathological and clinical view point. We put forward a hypothesis that agenesis of the cerebellar vermis and Dandy-Walker syndrome could be regarded as two different stages of the same malformation.
