Chapter 2 – Essential Anatomy of the Cerebellum and Related Structures

Patricia L. Musolino, Catherine J. Stoodley, and Jeremy D. Schmahmann

In this chapter we present an overview of the anatomic features of the cerebellum and interconnected regions essential to the understanding of the clinical manifestations of cerebellar lesions described in this volume. We emphasize organizational principles that help conceptualize the relationship of cerebellar structure to function, both in its traditional role of motor control as well as in nonmotor function.

Please note that Chapters 2, 3 and 4 are also available in Part 2: Cerebellar Anatomy and Functions.

About the Complete Book:

This clinically orientated text by an international group of experts is the first definitive reference book on disorders of the cerebellum in children. It presents a wealth of practical clinical experience backed up by a strong scientific basis for the information and guidance given. The first part sets out the theoretical underpinnings of cerebellar disorders. This is followed by sections on clinical conditions grouped according to common characteristics such as aetiology and symptomatology. The descriptions of the clinical conditions each systematically cover, as appropriate, epidemiology, prevalence, diagnostic criteria, clinical features (including course and prognosis), pathophysiology, genetics, investigations, differential diagnosis, and management and treatment. This book will be an invaluable resource for all those caring for children affected by cerebellar disorders, including malformations, genetic and metabolic disorders, acquired cerebellar damage, vascular disorders and acute ataxias. This comprehensive reference text on cerebellar disorders in children includes chapters on cerebellar development, prenatal cerebellar imaging, imaging of the posterior fossa, with coverage of a broad range of malformations, genetic and metabolic disorders involving the cerebellum, prenatal cerebellar disruptions (as related to prematurity), vascular disorders, tumors and paraneoplastic syndromes, as well as acute ataxia and trauma to the posterior fossa. Numerous checklists are provided to assist in the differential diagnosis of clinical signs and neuroimaging findings.

'With its exhaustive coverage, the clarity of its presentation and the careful selection of references, this book can certainly be recommended to any clinician or neuroscientist dealing with cerebellar disorders in children. It fully deserves a foreground position in a medical library. The ambitious intent to create a multi-authors, sound and clinically oriented work on cerebellar disorders affecting children is achieved.' M. Manto, Cerebellum, 2012

'Altogether, Cerebellar Disorders in Children is a comprehensive and very readable, modern textbook. Its scientific content is of high quality and well organized. The reader is comfortably guided through a wide variety of genetic as well as acquired cerebellar disorders that manifest during the first 2 decades of human life, including the 9 months before birth. I consider this book a wonderful and unique standard, and look forward to using it during everyday practice in paediatric neurology.' Michel A. Willemsen, Neuropediatrics, 2012

'This textbook is essential for child neurologists. In addition, it is useful and informative for both research scientists and neurologists, who are mainly engaged in clinics for adult patients with cerebellar disorders. This book is also recommended to young medical students because it can evoke their interests in pediatric cerebellar disorders.' Masaharu Hayashi, Brain & Development, 2013

'This book will be extremely useful as a reference tool for clinicians and scientists who deal with childhood cerebellar disorders. This should be on the shelf of (or at least accessible to) every child neurologist.' Vinodh Narayanan, Neurology, 2012

'In this new title from the Mac Keith Press the whole clinical spectrum of the cerebellum is presented: from a patho-physiological and anatomical introduction, to the outstanding (29) checklists for all the clinical problems relating to ataxia and imaging patterns for identifying cerebellar diseases. It is fascinating and stimulating to be guided from one pattern to the other - a clinical and visual eye-opener at its best. Of course, because the cerebellum is connected to almost everything within the brain, some readers would have liked more on ataxic cerebral palsy and other readers other aspects. But this does not detract from this wonderful book as a milestone of understanding and clinical orientation. In these times of Google, Wikipedia and tablet computers, there is definitely a need for owning such a fundamental, in-depth and practical book. This handbook should be seen in every child neurologist's or developmental pediatrician's office.' Florian Heinen, DMCN, 2012
