Abstract
Rhombencephalosynapsis is reported as one of the rarest congenital anomalies of posterior fossa and characterized by absent, or hypoplastic cerebellar vermis and fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres. This entity may be seen in isolation or with other anomalies. MR is the main diagnostic tool. Typical clinical manifestation mostly includes various neurological dysfunctions, ranges from mild to severe. However, in contrary to the established information in the literature, in the light of our case, we believe that Rhombencephalosynapsis may be more often than predicted in normal appearing population. We present a Rhombencephalosynapsis case who has normal daily activities without any neurological dysfunction.
