What is Rhombencephalosynapsis? Rhombencephalosynapsis is a midline brain malformation represented by an absent cerebellar vermis with an obvious fusion of the cerebellar hemispheres. Rhombencephalosynapsis can be seen in isolation or together with the different central nervous system and extra-central nervous system malformations. Gmez-Lpez-Hernndez syndrome combines rhombencephalon synapsis with parietal/temporal alopecia and occasionally trigeminal anesthesia, high…
What is Chronic fatigue syndrome? Chronic fatigue syndrome(CFS) also called myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME) is a complicated disease.
