A 14-year-old boy experienced acute cerebellitis, presenting with headache and vomiting. Treatment with corticosteroids resolved symptoms and imaging findings, confirming cerebellitis with mass effect.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neuroimaging
  • Inflammatory Brain Diseases

Background:

  • Cerebellitis is an uncommon inflammatory condition affecting the cerebellum.
  • It can present with varied neurological symptoms and imaging findings.

Observation:

  • A 14-year-old male presented with acute occipital headache, nausea, and vomiting.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed obstructive hydrocephalus and significant bilateral cerebellar swelling with T2-weighted hyperintensity.

Findings:

  • The patient's clinical symptoms and radiological signs resolved following treatment with oral corticosteroids.
  • The presentation and imaging were consistent with cerebellitis causing mass effect and hydrocephalus.

Implications:

  • Cerebellitis should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute pediatric posterior fossa lesions.
  • Early recognition and corticosteroid treatment can lead to favorable outcomes in pediatric cerebellitis.
