  • Title: Sudden death from fulminant acute cerebellitis.
    Author: Levy EI, Harris AE, Omalu BI, Hamilton RL, Branstetter BF, Pollack IF.
    Journal: Pediatr Neurosurg; 2001 Jul; 35(1):24-8. PubMed ID: 11490187.
    Abstract:
    Acute cerebellitis is postulated to result from viral and/or autoimmune etiologies. This disease has been reported to have a variable course. We report a case of sudden death from acute fulminant cerebellitis in a 13-year-old ballet dancer. Serial CT and MRI demonstrated rapid progression of the disease. Histopathologic correlation is provided. The etiologies, clinical course, therapeutic interventions and postmortem evaluation of this potentially life-threatening condition are briefly reviewed.
