Abstract
We report the finding of an absent cerebellar hemisphere and partial absence of the cerebellar vermis in a child with dysmorphic features, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, steroid resistant nephrotic syndrome secondary to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and T-cell lymphopenia (Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia). These findings have not, to our knowledge, been described before and are likely to represent the consequence of a vascular event either in-utero or in early infancy.
Conclusion Cerebral imaging should be performed early in the course of the disease and should be repeated if further neurological events develop.
