    Abstract:
    Psychic trouble is not generally recognised as a possible complication of posterior fossa surgery. Reviewing a series of 63 pediatric patients operated on for posterior fossa intraxial tumors, the Authors found 21 cases of psychic troubles in the post-operative period. The incidence was higher in: a) medulloblastoma; b) rostral vermis location; c) supracerebellar infratentorial and transvermian approach. The neuropathophysiological basis of the phenomenon is discussed.
