  • Title: [Cerebellar infarction and its assistant examination].
    Author: Long J, Liang Y, Luo L.
    Journal: Zhonghua Nei Ke Za Zhi; 1991 Mar; 30(3):154-6, 188. PubMed ID: 1874083.
    Abstract:
    The clinical manifestations of cerebellar infarction are often non-particular and it is difficult to make such a diagnosis clinically. Diagnosis was based on pathology previously. Most of the cases were overlooked while still living and the true morbidity was not known. CT scan has made the diagnosis of this disease possible clinically in some patients, but CT is still not an ideal instrument for diagnosing this disease because of the interference by bony artifacts of posterior fossa. The advent of MRI made it possible to distinguish cerebellar infarction safely and easily. It is not the most powerful tool for diagnosing this disease. The authors reported 15 cases of cerebellar infarction diagnosed by clinical manifestation, neuroimages and pathology and pointed out that further knowledge of this disease is needed.
