Abstract

Macrocerebellum, a neuroradiological and clinical entity of unknown etiology characterized by an isolated, disproportionately large cerebellum, has to date been reported in only a few cases. It has been suggested that the condition could represent a marker for disturbed cerebral development, however, longitudinal reports are lacking. We describe a 19-month-old patient with agenesis of the corpus callosum, who developed enlargement of the cerebellum without clinical signs of cerebellar impairment, a picture that has not been previously described.

Neurosciences & Behavior covers cellular and molecular neuroscience, neuronal development, basic and clinical neurology, psychology, psychiatry, and psychopharmacology. This category also includes experimental and biobehavioral psychology, molecular psychiatry, and studies of neuronal function underlying higher cognitive processes. Resources dealing with cognitive or behavioral clinical psychotherapy, psychological assessments, and case-books in clinical neurology are excluded.
The Radiology, Nuclear Medicine & Imaging category includes resources on general radiology, nuclear medicine, and medical imaging. Specialties such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), sonography, and medical imaging topics (e.g., abdominal and cardiovascular imaging) are also covered.
