ABSTRACT
Cerebellar infarction (CbI) is rare but because of its location it can give vital influence on the neighbouring structures. Therefore, it is important to make correct diagnosis and know general clinical pictures including prognosis. We studied 25 cases of CbI about their C.T. findings and clinical pictures, and the following results were obtained. 1. Location of the CbI was in inferior cerebellum 20 cases, superior 4 cases. Prognosis was good in 17 inferior and 2 superior cases. 2. Size of the CbI was variable, but fatal cases showed more than 5-6cm in diameter. 3. Deformity of the 4th. Ventricle and slight hydrocephalus were seen in 12 among 20 acute cases. 2 cases expired. 4. Among the total 25 cases 20 cases showed clinically complete cure or improvement, 2 cases worse, 1 cases undetermined, and 2-cases expired.
