The authors report 2 cases of unilateral cerebellar atrophia presenting in the neonatal period with facial peripheral palsy and iso-immune thrombocytopenia respectively. The recognition of cerebellar atrophia has been made by MRI. Unilateral cerebellar atrophia be due to ischemia. MRI seems to be a useful tool in the recognition of cerebellar malformations in the neonatal period.

Tacrolimus is a macrolide immunosuppressant frequently used after solid-organ transplantation. Moderate and severe neurologic side effects have been reported in patients receiving tacrolimus. Cerebral neurotoxicity is a rare but fatal calcineurin inhibitor-related complication, especially in kidney and liver transplant recipients.

Three affected members of a family with olivopontocerebellar atrophy IV (Schut-Haymaker type) of autosomal dominant inheritance are presented. The five types of olivopontocerebellar atrophy are differentiated on the basis of clinical symptoms and the mode of inheritance. Its clinical symptoms are varied but the cerebellar ataxia of different extent is present in every case which may be followed by pyramidal and extrapyramidal symptoms.

51 cases of benign paroxysmal vertigo have been investigated in 3 years. The findings put in evidence: the particular frequency of this pathology (18% of BPPV in a vestibulometry consultation), its opportunist character and the possible association with other more severe pathologies (meningiomas, multiple sclerosis, cerebellar venous angioma, vascular cerebral infarction) or more benign pathologies (labyrinth malformation, middle fossa atrophia). Sémont liberatory maneuver revealed to be much efficient (50% of patients free of disease after a single repositioning manoeuvre).

However, the pathophysiological link between cardiac and neurological disorders is not yet clearly established. We compared a group of 10 patients with FA to a control group (C) of 16 normal subjects, using Doppler-echocardiography.
