'Amazing' WNY child

What's amazing is that he had a cerebellum in utero. I could understand if he never had one and another part of the brain assumed the functions of the cerebellum (and pons). Although, I wonder if after both disappeared (for whatever reason), his occipital lobe (responsible for sight, which he doesn't have) assumed their functions?

I saw on TLC once about this teenage girl who was perfectly normal. She got in a car accident and needed a CAT scan or MRI of her head. They found her cereberum was only a 1/2-1 thick layer just inside of her skull. Where most of the brain was supposed to be was cerebro-spinal fluid. She went on to get a college degree and is living a normal life.
