Description
Hind Qajia and co-authors report a rare birth defect of the brain in a 2026 case paper. A five-year-old boy had delay in movement and learning. Scans showed he was missing the right half of his cerebellum, the brain part that aids balance and coordination, and the middle part was undergrown.
Missing one half in this way is very rare and is often found through such delays. The authors stress the clinical range of these defects and the value of imaging for clear diagnosis. Scans also guide forecasts and team care plans. The case shows how the young brain can adapt when a part never forms.
