Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599-7510, USA.

The MR imaging findings in two patients with the clinical diagnosis of oculomotor apraxia are presented. Both cases showed dysgenesis of the cerebellar vermis, and the colliculi were fused in one patient. No supratentorial abnormalities were seen in either patient.

D008607	Intellectual Disability	Subnormal intellectual functioning which originates during the developmental period. This has multiple potential etiologies, including genetic defects and perinatal insults. Intelligence quotient (IQ) scores are commonly used to determine whether an individual has an intellectual disability. IQ scores between 70 and 79 are in the borderline range. Scores below 67 are in the disabled range.

D002531	Cerebellum	The part of brain that lies behind the BRAIN STEM in the posterior base of skull (CRANIAL FOSSA, POSTERIOR). It is also known as the "little brain" with convolutions similar to those of CEREBRAL CORTEX, inner white matter, and deep cerebellar nuclei. Its function is to coordinate voluntary movements, maintain balance, and learn motor skills.	Cerebella,Corpus Cerebelli,Parencephalon,Cerebellums,Parencephalons
