Rhombencephalosynapsis, cerebellar vermis, prenatal diagnosis, congenital malformation, stenosis, fetusAbstract
The vermis, a structure located on the cerebellum, it is the area of the encephalon in charge of a big number of activities such as movement coordination, integration of sensory information and posture, is connected to important structures of the central nervous system including the thalamus, hypothalamus, brain cortex, brainstem and spinal cord, this union is incredibly important for the correct execution of the human body movement. Rhombencephalosynapsis is a cerebral congenital malformation which has just a few registries on the medical literature, characterized by the fusion of both cerebral hemispheres due to aplasia or hypoplasia of the vermis on the midline, most cases appear sporadically and are associated to a disorder that involves the regulation of several development pathways including the cerebellar primordium and de novo mutations.
