Summary:We analyzed the clinical and cranial computerized tomographic (CT) features of 10 patients with cerebellar infarction. Among patients with recent cerebellar infarction, the initial CT often failed to demonstrate any recognizable abnormality. Because early neurological deterioration may arise despite normal CT studies, a high level of clinical awareness is critical for appropriate intervention.
