    Abstract:
    A syndrome of mutism and subsequent dysarthria occurs frequently in children after resection of a cerebellar tumour. The role of orofacial and speech motor control in this syndrome has not been studied systematically. We examined simple and complex orofacial movements during the mute phase and shortly after the resumption of speech in five children with mutism and subsequent dysarthria. The recovery of complex orofacial movements coincided with the disappearance of the mutism.
