| cerebellomedullary cistern | The largest of the subarachnoid cisterns between the cerebellum and the medulla oblongata; may be divided into a dorsal cistern located between the cerebellum and dorsal surface of the medulla (cisterna magna) and a lateral cistern located between the cerebellum and the lateral aspect of the medulla. Synonym: cisterna cerebellomedullaris, cisterna magna. (05 Mar 2000) |

| cerebellomedullary malformation syndrome | <radiology> Chiari I herniation of medulla and cerebellar tonsils, 4th ventricle in normal position, Chiari II herniation of medulla, tonsils, vermis, 4th ventricle at foramen magnum, myelomeningocele, aqueductal stenosis most likely to be hydrocephalus, Chiari III further herniation, 4th ventricle below foramen magnum, encephalocele or myelomeningocele associated with: agenesis of corpus callosum, syrinx (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellopontile angle | <anatomy, oncology> The angle between the cerebellum and the pons, a common site for the growth of acoustic neuromas. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cerebellopontine | Relating to the cerebellum and the pons; denoting especially the cerebellopontine recess or angle between these two structures. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle | <anatomy, oncology> The angle between the cerebellum and the pons, a common site for the growth of acoustic neuromas. (16 Dec 1997) |
| cerebellopontine angle syndrome | <syndrome> A syndrome due most commonly to an acoustic tumour in the region between the cerebellum and pons, and marked by ataxia, nystagmus, tinnitus, deafness, disturbances of labyrinth function, and involvement of any of the cranial nerves, fifth, sixth, seventh, ninth, or tenth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine angle tumour | This is a benign tumour of the 8th cranial nerve that affects approximately 1 out of 100,000 people. This tumour arises from the myelin forming Schwann cells that coat the 8th cranial nerve (acoustic nerve). Clinical presentation usually includes hearing deficit. Diagnosis can be made with auditory evoked potentials and/or MRI scanning of the brain. Vertigo and tinnitus may be associated symptoms. Surgical removal of this tumour involves dissection, cautery and obliteration with laser. Causes: acoustic neuroma (90%), meningioma (7%), epidermoid (3%), uncommon: metastasis, trigeminal neuroma, arachnoid cyst, aneurysm, vertebro-basilar dolichoectasia (12 Dec 1998) |
| cerebellopontine cisternography | The radiographic study of the cerebellopontine angle and contiguous structures after the introduction of a radiopaque contrast medium into the subarachnoid space. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellopontine recess | The angle formed at the junction of cerebellum, pons, and medulla. Synonym: pontocerebellar recess. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellorubral | Relating to the connections of the cerebellum with the red nucleus. Origin: cerebello-+ L. Ruber, red (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellorubral tract | That component of the superior cerebellar peduncle (brachium conjunctivum) which distributes fibres within the red nucleus of the opposite side. Synonym: tractus cerebellorubralis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellospinal fibres | Crossed descending fibres originating in the fastigial nucleus of the cerebellum and ending in the spinal cord gray matter at cervical, and possibly lower, levels. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellothalamic tract | That component of the superior cerebellar peduncle (brachium conjunctivum) which originates in the cerebellar nuclei, crosses completely in the decussation of the brachia conjunctiva, bypasses the red nucleus, and terminates in parts of the ventral anterior, ventral intermediate, ventral posterolateral, and central lateral nuclei of the thalamus. Synonym: tractus cerebellothalamicus, dentatothalamic tract. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cerebellum | <anatomy> Part of the vertebrate hindbrain, concerned primarily with somatic motor function, the control of muscle tone and the maintenance of balance. Important model for cell migration in developing mammalian brain owing to well studied migratory pathway of the granule neuron and to the existence of the neurological mutant mouse weaver in which granule cell migration fails.

| cerebellum |
A two-lobed region of the brain located behind the brainstem. The cerebellum receives messages concerning balance, posture, muscle tone, and muscle contraction or extension. Working in coordination with the basal ganglia and thalamus, the cerebellum integrates, adjusts, and refines messages transmitted to muscle groups from the cerebral cortex (ie, motor cortex). ...

| cerebellar gait |
a wide based type of gait (walking), in which one changes direction or falls forward, backwards, or to the side. The person with cerebellar gait walks in a staggered, unsteady, and irregular manner. People with cerebellar gait have difficulty turning. The feet are faced outward and the person comes down first on the heel and then on the toes. ...
