We report a case of space-occupying infarction of the left cerebellar hemisphere with occlusive hydrocephalus and left to right shift of the fourth ventricle. The patient, a 58 years old man, underwent shunting and decompressive craniectomy of the posterior fossa and survived without neurological deficits.
