Summary
Acute cerebellitis in a child can cause temporary white matter lesions on MRI. While symptoms improve, long-term cerebellar atrophy and recurrent ataxia may develop over time.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Neurology
- Neuroradiology
- Infectious Diseases
Background:
- Acute cerebellitis is an inflammation of the cerebellum, often presenting with ataxia.
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring cerebellar conditions.
