Isolated cerebellar syndrome following head injury with short posttraumatic amnesia.
We present the case of a man developing a profound cerebellar syndrome within 24 h of a minor head injury. His neuroimaging was normal and no other cause was found for his cerebellar syndrome. We discuss the possible pathological substrate for such a focal neurological deficit after minor head trauma.
