title: "Pseudotumoral" cystic cerebellar infarction with slow evolution.
abstract: A 63-year-old female patient presented with cerebellovestibular symptoms and posterior headaches. The onset of the symptoms was sudden, and the neurological condition slowly worsened over a 5-month period. It was found that she suffered from a cystic infarction of the cerebellar lobe, with subsequent hydrocephalus. This case and two others discovered in the literature argue for the recognition of a slowly evolving, cystic form of cerebellar infarction that calls for a direct surgical approach.
