History
The first known case of cerebellar hypoplasia was discovered in the year of 1940. The patient died at the age of 76. After his body was unclaimed, the body became property of the London Hospital for dissection. During dissection, the patient was discovered to have no cerebellum. This unique case was appropriately named “human brain without a cerebellum” and was used every year in the Department of Anatomy at Cambridge University in a neuroscience course for medical students.
