Magnetic resonance imaging in right hemisphere cerebellitis associated with homolateral hemiparesis.
We present a sequence of magnetic resonance images (MRI) of a patient with cerebellitis, taken from the onset of symptoms until their disappearance 9 months later. The need to perform MRI rather than computed tomography in all patients suspected of having cerebellitis or other posterior fossa lesions is suggested.
