Abstract
Background
To describe cerebellar abnormalities in a family composed by a father and two affected sibs with Adams Oliver syndrome (AOS) (OMIM 100300).
Material/Methods
Brain MRI and MR angiography were performed at 1.5T.
Results
The siblings presented cerebellar cortex dysplasia characterized by the presence of cysts.
Conclusions
Abnormalities of CNS are an unusual manifestation of AOS. To our knowledge, this is the first report of cerebellar cortical dysplasia in a family with AOS.
