Neuroanatomical Mechanism of Cerebellar Mutism After Stroke
Cerebellar mutism (CM) is a rare neurological condition characterized by lack of speech due to cerebellar lesions. CM is often reported in children. We describe a rare case of CM after spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage. The patient showed mutism, irritability, decreased spontaneous movements and oropharyngeal apraxia. Diffusion tensor imaging revealed significant volume reduction of medial fron...
متن کاملRemote Cerebellar Hemorrhage Presenting with Cerebellar Mutism after Spinal Surgery: An Unusual Case Report
Dural injury during spinal surgery can subsequently give rise to a remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH). Although the incidence of such injury is low, the resulting hemorrhage can be life threatening. The mechanism underlying the formation of the hemorrhage is not known, but it is mostly thought to develop after venous infarction. Cerebellar mutism (CM) is a frequent complication of posterior fos...
متن کاملFunctional recovery after rehabilitation for cerebellar stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Relatively few data exist concerning functional recovery after ischemic and hemorrhagic cerebellar stroke. We studied patients admitted to a rehabilitation hospital after cerebellar stroke to quantify recovery after rehabilitation therapy and to identify variables that predicted functional outcome. METHODS This study was a retrospective review of consecutive cases admit...
متن کاملA Neuroanatomical Framework for Upper Limb Synergies after Stroke
Muscle synergies describe common patterns of co- or reciprocal activation that occur during movement. After stroke, these synergies change, often in stereotypical ways. The mechanism underlying this change reflects damage to key motor pathways as a result of the stroke lesion, and the subsequent reorganization along the neuroaxis, which may be further detrimental or restorative to motor functio...
متن کاملThe syndrome of 'cerebellar' mutism and subsequent dysarthria.
"Cerebellar" mutism refers to a specific childhood disorder in which a complete but transient loss of speech, followed by dysarthria, occurs after removal of a cerebellar tumor. We present a consecutive series of 15 children with this disorder, which we prefer to designate "mutism and subsequent dysarthria." The conditions in which it develops suggest also an extracerebellar component of cerebe...
