Rhombencephalosynapsis (RES) is a rare condition found in the pediatric population. It occurs due to a fundamental failure of vermian differentiation caused by faulty gene expression in the earliest patterning areas of the brain between days 28 and 41 of gestation, resulting in a fused cerebellum. This report aims to discuss cases of this rare hindbrain malformation, identify its features on MRI, diagnose any associated anomalies, classify it based on severity, and study its syndromic associations. We report two rare cases of RES in patients presenting with complaints of ataxia, global motor developmental delay, hypotonia, and dysarthria, who underwent an MRI of the brain.
菱脑融合(RES)是一种在儿科人群中发现的罕见病症。它是由于在妊娠第28天至41天期间大脑最早的模式形成区域中基因表达错误导致蚓部分化基本失败而发生的,从而导致小脑融合。本报告旨在讨论这种罕见的后脑畸形病例,确定其在磁共振成像(MRI)上的特征,诊断任何相关异常,根据严重程度对其进行分类,并研究其综合征关联。我们报告了两例罕见的RES病例,患者表现为共济失调、整体运动发育迟缓、肌张力减退和构音障碍,并接受了脑部MRI检查。
