Abstract

Cerebellar mutism is a rare complication of posterior fossa surgery. The pathological condition (edema or ischemia), caused by surgical trauma (agressive tumor resection, traction or vasospasm) affecting dentatotalamocortical tract may result in cerebellar mutism. This is transient and not tumor spesific condition. We present the case of a 11 years old girl who had headache and vomiting. CT scan showed a large posterior fossa tumor. The patient underwent surgery and the mass was removed totally. Mutism developed 24 hours after the surgery and lasted 7 days. The histopathological diagnosis was a ependimoma.
