MRI Findings in a Rare Isolated Cerebellar Malformation: Rhombencephalosynapsis

Rhombencephalosynapsis is a rare posterior fossa malformation presenting with absent vermis and fused cerebellar hemispheres. Diagnosis on MRI is straight forward with no differential diagnosis. Herein, we report the pathoanatomic and MR imaging features in a case of symptomatic isolated rhombe...
