Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome with posterior intraorbital coloboma cyst: an unusual case.

abstract：:In children, the conditions defined as "ataxia" form a very heterogeneous group. They also often differ from the "ataxias" of adults. In many cases this can be attributed to their different etiology, but probably it is also due to the peculiar functional and physiopathologic characteristics of the cerebellar system du...
