Özet

Acute cerebellitis (AC) is an inflammatory process involving the cerebellum. Usually, this pathology is bilateral; it is unusual to have a unilateral cerebellitis. Only seven cases of hemicerebellitis have been reported in the literature. Here, we review the literature and report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton-magnetic resonance spectroscopic (H+-MRS) findings of a case of acute hemicerebellitis in a 15-year-old girl presenting with 15 days' history of headache.

Only seven cases of hemicerebellitis have been reported in the literature. Here, we review the literature and report the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and proton-magnetic resonance spectroscopic (+H-MRS) findings of a case of acute hemicerebellitis in a 15-year-old girl presenting with 15 days' history of headache.
