Advances in molecular genetics and radiological imaging technologies have increased the field of study of the cerebellum and its malformations. Correct diagnosis of cerebellar malformations is important in order to inform the patient’s family of the prognosis, recurrent risks, as well as genetic counseling. Integrated classification of malformations based on morphology, embryology, and molecular neurogenetics is recommended for achieving a correct diagnosis. This chapter reviews cerebellar malformations based on imaging findings, recent advances in embryology, and molecular neurogenetics.
