Abstract
BackgroundPostoperative pediatric cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) may occur following a process affecting the posterior cranial fossa. Recent evidence demonstrates disabling and potentially lasting motor components of this syndrome, including ataxia, hemiparesis, and oculomotor dysfunction. These impairments may contribute to vestibular deficits. MethodsThis case series contributes data to quantify vestibular dysfunction in postoperative CMS. The pair consisted of one female and one male. ResultsVestibular testing demonstrated both peripheral and central dysfunction. ConclusionsGiven these findings, a thorough vestibular assessment may be indicated as part of a comprehensive evaluation following a postoperative CMS diagnosis. Further research is needed to understand the pathophysiology, treatment, and long-term outcomes of postoperative pediatric CMS.
