A form of pontocerebellar hypoplasia characterized by infantile onset of severe global developmental delay with absent speech, hypotonia, feeding problems, dysmorphic craniofacial features, and development of pontocerebellar hypoplasia on brain imaging later in childhood.

Seizures, nystagmus, and cortical visual impairment have been reported in some cases.
