Brainstem disconnection is a very rare neonatal abnormality, with only seven cases reported. We report a unique case of a neonate who presented at delivery with hypertonia, dysmorphic facial features, and respiratory distress, as well as numerous musculoskeletal and genitourinary abnormalities. MRI of the brain showed disconnection between the pons and medulla with cerebellar hypoplasia and absent cerebellar peduncles. It aided in the description of the neurological and vascular anomalies associated with this diagnosis.
脑干切断是一种非常罕见的新生儿异常,仅有 7 例报告。我们报告了一例独特的新生儿病例,该新生儿在分娩时表现为张力亢进、面部畸形和呼吸窘迫,以及许多肌肉骨骼和泌尿生殖系统异常。脑 MRI 显示桥脑和延髓之间的连接中断,伴有小脑发育不良和小脑脚缺失。它有助于描述与该诊断相关的神经和血管异常。
