First-ever Case of a Person Without a Cerebellum

The first-ever case of a person without a cerebellum was recorded in China, where a 24-year-old girl was diagnosed with cerebellar agenesis.

The girl went to the hospital because she had been dizzy and vomiting for the past month. She also reported that she had had difficulty walking all her life, had not learned to stand until she was 4 years old, began speaking at 6, and walking at 7. However, she was fully socialized, lived in a happy marriage, and the impairment of motor functions was not a serious problem.

Doctors conducted research and found a complete absence of an entire part of the brain - the cerebellum. This is a unique case: for the first time in the history of medicine, such a diagnosis could be made while the patient was still alive.

Re: First-ever Case of a Person Without a Cerebellum

Based on how poorly Asian women drive, I'm guessing this is far more common over there than doctors realize.

Re: First-ever Case of a Person Without a Cerebellum

It's astounding how much the brain can relearn

I'm speaking from experience following a brain haemorrhage in the 90s. I learned to walk again, etc, after a grim prognosis

That's insane but at least she lives a normal life.
