Classification systems for malformations of the cerebellum are varied and are constantly being revised as a greater understanding of the underlying genetics and embryology of the disorders is uncovered.
Classification
A classification proposed by Barkovich et al. in 2009 1 divides cerebellar malformations into two broad groups: those with cerebellar hypoplasia and those with cerebellar dysplasia.
