  • Title: Transient cerebellar mutism after evacuation of a spontaneous vermian haematoma.
    Author: Sinha AK, Rajender Y, Dinakar I.
    Journal: Childs Nerv Syst; 1998 Sep; 14(9):460-2. PubMed ID: 9808255.
    Abstract:
    Cerebellar mutism after surgery for posterior fossa tumours in children is a well-described, though rare, entity. Most of these tumours are located in the region of the cerebellar vermis extending to the hemispheres. The authors report a case of cerebellar mutism in an 8-year-old boy who underwent surgical evacuation of a spontaneous vermian haematoma. We feel that his mutism was an extreme form of cerebellar dysarthria.
