title: Diagnostic imaging and clinical findings in rhombencephalosynapsis: case report and literature review.
abstract: Rhombencephalosynapsis is a rare condition in which most cases are found in newborns and infants. Morphological findings are predominantly characterized by fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres and absence of the vermis with often associated supratentorial anomalies. We review the literature with emphasis on diagnostic imaging of this condition and present a case of a 2-year-old girl.
