title: Wallerian degeneration of the inferior cerebellar peduncle depicted by diffusion weighted imaging.
abstract: Wallerian degeneration of the inferior cerebellar peduncle has never been demonstrated on imaging studies. We describe a case in which it was depicted by thin slice diffusion weighted imaging. Location to the inferior cerebellar peduncle was confirmed by a fibre tracking method.
