Advances in neuroimaging, developmental biology and molecular genetics have increased
the understanding of developmental disorders affecting the midbrain and hindbrain, both as …

MRI is a useful tool to complement US for imaging of the fetal posterior fossa (PF). In France,
the discovery of a PF malformation in the fetus frequently leads to termination of pregnancy …

Mutations in GPR56, an orphan G-protein-coupled receptor (GPCR), cause bilateral
frontoparietal polymicrogyria (BFPP), a disorder characterized by mental retardation …

Brain malformations are extremely polymorphous, and individual cases very often escape
rigid categorization. Moreover, several malformations are frequently associated with one …

Purpose Neuroimaging techniques including structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
and functional positron emission tomography (PET) are useful in categorizing various …

In contrast to malformations, cerebellar disruptions have attracted little interest in the
literature. We draw attention for the first time to the hypothesis that cerebellar clefts are …

This was a study of 12 cerebellar cortical dysplasias (CCDs) fetuses, these cases were
characterized by a disorder of cerebellar fissures. Historically, CCD diagnosis was primarily …

We report the results of a retrospective analysis of radiological and clinical findings in 45
cases of midbrain–hindbrain anomalies and review recent advances in embryology and …

We recently described the neuroimaging and clinical findings in 6 children with cerebellar
clefts and proposed that they result from disruptive changes following prenatal cerebellar …

We aimed to assess brain regional glucose uptake (rGlcU) changes in children with isolated
cerebellar cortical dysplasia (CCD) using 18-fluoro-deoxy-glucose positron emission …
