Table 3 Radiological classification of cerebellar malformation by neuroimaging criteria

From: Pediatric cerebellar malformations: magnetic resonance diagnostic merits and correlation with neurodevelopmental outcome

Cerebellar hypoplasia

Cerebellar dysplasia

1. Focal cerebellar hypoplasia

1. Focal cerebellar dysplasia

Isolated vermian hypoplasia

Predominantly vermian hypoplasia

DWM

Unilateral hemisphere hypoplasia

Predominantly vermian dysplasia

a. Joubert syndrome

b. Rhombencephalosynapsis

Predominantly hemispheric dysplasia

a. Cerebellar cortical dysplasia

b.(Lhermitte-Duclos-Cowden syndrome)

2. Global cerebellar hypoplasia

(e.g., congenital CMV infection)

2. Generalized cerebellar dysplasia

(e.g., congenital muscular dystrophies)

3. Pontocerebellar hypoplasia

(e.g., disorder of glycosylation)

  1. DWM Dandy-Walker malformation, CMV cytomegalovirus
