| ABSTRACT |
|
We report a case of chronic encapsulated intracerebellar hematoma occurring during infancy. An 18 month-old boy was admitted because for 3 months, his head could not be held upright, but fell to the left. Computed tomographic(CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain revealed a round mass at the cerebellar vermis ; the lesion simulated a cerebellar tumor such as a medulloblastoma. The mass was surgically removed and found to be a well-encapsulated organized intracerebral hematoma. The characteristic clinical and radiologic findings and histopathologic features are discussed, and a survey of the literature is included. |
