The vermian atrophy is more prominent than the atrophy of the cerebellar hemispheres and is characteristic of the type of anatomic appearance seen in ataxia-telangiectasia. Also with age the degree of atrophy progresses, there are two siblings with more marked atrophy in later age group.Reported by -Teleradiology ProvidersFrom Sumer's Radiology Site http://www.sumerdoc.blogspot.com -The Top Radiology Magazine.

A teenage boy who received fetal stem cells developed brain cancer four years after the transplant, reports PLoS Medicine this week. The patient suffered from a recessive genetic disorder called ataxia telangiectasia (AT), an incurable rare disease that causes degeneration of the part of the brain that controls movement and speech. When the boy was 9 years old, his parents took him to Moscow to have experimental stem cell therapy. Russian researchers injected the boy with transplants of neural stem cells taken from the brains of aborted fetuses. Four years later, the donor stem cells inside the boy’s brain differentiated into a cancerous...
