Abstract: The etiology of cerebral hemiatrophy may be congenital or acquired. Trauma, infection, vascular abnormality, ischemic and hemorrhagic conditions may be the etiologic factors in acquired type. There is limited information about its association with other disorders in the literature. We presented three new cases of cerebral hemiatrophy associated with some hematological and developmental disorders. Cerebral hemiatrophy was associated with thalassemia major in a 10-year-old girl, acute myeloblastic leukemia and Marfan syndrome in …a 23-year-old man, and craniosynostosis in a 1-year-old boy. To the best of our knowledge, thalassemia major, myeloblastic leukemia, Marfan syndrome and craniosynostosis have not been reported in cerebral hemiatrophy in the literature.
