Agenesis of the cerebellar vermis: otoneurological report in one patient

Acta Neurol (Napoli). 1989 Aug;11(4):259-64.

Abstract

We have performed otoneurological examination in a case of vermis cerebelli agenesia, CT scan confirmed. Visuo-vestibular interaction (VST) abnormality, with normal saccades and normal smooth pursuit movements, allows to suppose normal functioning of the flocculus and a damage in the nucleus olivaris inferior and, particular, in the paraolive.
