Abstract

Cerebellar mutism is an entity, almost always seen in the childhood after posterior fossa surgey and is not associated with cerebellar hemorrage, infection, degeneration and neoplastic diseases. Disruption of speech in cerebellar mutism is usually temporary but some permanent cases may occur. Mutism mostly disappears in six months period. During surgery, injury to cerebellar nucleus and vermis and vascular spasm have been accused but the etiology is not clear. For correct diagnosis and treatment of such disease, a close cooperation between neurosurgeon and pediatrician is needed. We present a case of childhood cerebellar mutism after posterior fossa surgery.

Özet

Serebellar mutizm çoğunlukla çocuk hasta grubunda görülen, serebellar kanama, enfeksiyon, serebellumun dejeneratif veya neoplastik hastalıklarıyla ilişkili olmayan, posterior fossa cerrahisi sonrasında konuşma yeteneğinin geçici olarak veya tümüyle kaybedilmesi ile karakterize bir durumdur. Bu durum genelde 6 aylık bir zaman içerisinde düzelme göstermektedir. Etyolojisi bilinmemekle beraber cerrahi sonrası serebellar nukleusların, vermisin hasar görmesi, vasküler spazm gelişmesi bu hasarın oluşumunda rol oynamaktadır. Bu hastalık cerrahların ve pediatristlerin yakın işbirliğini gerektirmektedir. Bu olgumuzda çocukluk çağında tümör cerrahisi sonrası gelişen serebellar mutizm olgusu literatür ışığında incelenmiştir.
