Longitudinal cerebellar diffusion tensor imaging changes in posterior fossa syndrome
Posterior fossa syndrome is a severe transient loss of language that frequently complicates resection of tumors of the cerebellum. The associated pathophysiology and relevant anatomy to this language deficit remains controversial. We performed a retrospective analysis of all cerebellar tumor resections at Seattle Children's Hospital from 2010 to 2015. Diffusion tensor imaging was performed on e...

متن کاملHemifacial spasm: treatment by posterior fossa surgery.
Nine cases of hemifacial spasm have been treated by posterior fossa exploration without mortality or significant morbidity. In only three was definite pathology found, but the hemifacial spasm was abolished in eight patients and markedly diminished in the remaining patient. The condition has reccurred in one patient. Microsurgical techniques make the operation safe and accurate. We suggest that...
متن کاملPosterior fossa hemorrhage after supratentorial surgery.
PURPOSE To evaluate the imaging findings, possible pathogenesis, and frequency of hemorrhage near the tentorial surface of the cerebellum after supratentorial surgery. METHODS Over a 5-year period, 13 patients with posterior fossa hemorrhage after supratentorial surgery were identified with postoperative CT studies, which were obtained in all patients after craniotomy. Four of the 13 patients...
