Acute pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis in a child: a rare and distinct entity?

Abstract:

:A pseudotumoral presentation of acute hemicerebellitis is rare in pediatric age. The authors report a new single case study of a 7-year-old child with pseudotumoral unilateral cerebellitis mimicking an intracranial tumor, which clinically presented itself with signs of intracranial hypertension and mild contralateral hemiparesis, completely recovered after anti-inflammatory therapy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was essential for the differential diagnosis between inflammatory and neoplastic processes. The literature highlighting specific clues about pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis as a distinct clinical and radiological entity is reviewed.
