Dr. Jeremy S. Schmahmann talks about how disorders and abnormalities in the cerebellum may have an effect on affect, cognitive function, and personality in certain patients. He discusses cerebellar cognitive affective syndrome and some cases he has encountered over the years, including one patient who was thought to have schizophrenia but when treated for Chiari malformation (a deformity in the cerebellar region), had incredible improvement in psychological symptoms. This presentation was given at the 2nd Annual CSF Disorders Symposium jointly provided by Warren Alpert Medical School at Brown University and the Department of Neurosurgery at Rhode Island Hospital, sponsored by the Chiari & Syringoymelia Foundation.
