Pseudotumoural Hemicerebellitis: Conventional MR Imaging and MR Spectroscopy Evolution: A Case Report
2009
Acute cerebellitis is an inflammatory process commonly involving both cerebellar hemispheres. Bilateral cerebellar hemispheres involvement is the most common finding. It typically occurs as a primary infectious, post-infectious or post-vaccination disorder, but is also a disease entity with heterogeneous pathogenesis including paraneoplasia. Acute cerebellitis is usually a benign, self-limiting and rarely fatal disease. Typically, cerebellar atrophy is a late consequence of the syndrome. We describe the radiological features of a case of pseudotumoural hemicerebellitis with emphasis on MRI and spectroscopy findings as non-invasive diagnostic tools to avoid unnecessary surgical procedures.
