Abstract

We describe a case of Gomez-Lopez-Hernandez syndrome in an 18-month-old boy. Imaging findings included rhombencephalosynapsis with a single dentate nucleus. In addition, MR angiography revealed an azygous anterior cerebral artery. The clinical presentation, MRI findings and pathogenesis are discussed.
