Cerebellar mutism – a case report

Cerebellar mutism is a postoperative complication after an intervention in posterior cranial fossa. It can particularly be seen in children following tumor resection of cerebellar vermis. Clinical features of this syndrome are well described in foreign literature while its pathophysiology stays unclear. The goal of our case report is to point this interesting phenomenon out mainly because it is only sporadicly mentioned in Czech neurological publications.
