    Author: Cakir Y, Karakişi D, Koçanaoğullari O.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1994 Apr; 41(4):342-4. PubMed ID: 8165509.
    Abstract:
    Mutism occurring after posterior fossa surgery has been reported in children. We report an adult case of transient mutism after resection of a large tumor in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Although the patient was fully alert and without lower cranial nerve palsies and long tract signs, he had been mute for 4 days after surgery. Postoperative magnetic resonance imaging scan showed a slight hemorrhage in the region of the resected tumor. The relevant literature is reviewed.
