Two patients with oro‐facio‐digital syndrome type II (OFD‐II, Mohr syndrome) with associated cerebellar atrophy are described. Three other cases of the Mohr syndrome with cerebellar abnormalities are cited from the literature. Cerebellar involvement seems to be a clinical feature of this syndrome. Unfortunately, there is a lack of CNS reports for many of the previously described patients. In all cases with this entity, careful neurological and radiological examinations of the cerebellum are recommended.
