Neonatal brainstem dysfunction is a rare neurologic disease characterized by the association of suction-swallowing dysfunction, abnormal laryngeal sensitivity and motility manifesting with dyspnea or obstructive apnea-hypopnea. gastroesophageal reflux (generally resistant to medication) and cardiac vagal overactivity (e.g. brachycardia, vasovagal episodes) of varying degrees of severity. Impaired social interaction has also been reported.	Finding site	True	Brainstem structure	Inferred relationship	Some	1
A rare, genetic, neurological disorder characterized by horizontal gaze palsy, sensorineural deafness, central hypoventilation, developmental delay, and intellectual disability, described in persons of Athabascan American Indian heritage. Swallowing dysfunction, vocal cord paralysis, facial paresis, seizures, internal carotid artery, and cardiac outflow tract anomalies may be additionally observed. No dysmorphic facial features are associated.	Finding site	True	Brainstem structure	Inferred relationship	Some	1
CLIPPERS is a rare neuroinflammatory disorder characterized by brainstem-predominant encephalomyelitis which typically presents with cerebellar and cranial nerve manifestations (gait ataxia, dysarthria, visual disorders, parasthesias), as well as brainstem, myelopathy and cognitive findings, that respond to steroid treatment. Punctate curvilinear post-gadolinium contrast enhancement predominantly in the pons and cerebellum is observed on brain MRI and prominent, perivascular, CD3+ T-cell predominantly lymphocytic inflammation in neuropathology.

A rare genetic syndrome with a central nervous system malformation as a major feature, characterized by cortical malformations including posterior predominant lissencephaly and diffuse pachygyria, as well as midline crossing defects, thin corpus callosum, dysplastic hippocampi, narrowing of the brainstem with small pons and midbrain, widening of the medulla, and small cerebellum. Clinically, patients present global developmental delay, severe intellectual disability with poor or absent speech, axial hypotonia, and early-onset seizures, among others.
