Acute mumps cerebellitis with abnormal findings in MRI diffusion-weighted images.
In a 5-year-old boy with acute mumps cerebellitis, abnormal findings on MRI diffusion-weighted images were transient with clinical improvement. High signal intensity in the cerebellum was obvious on diffusion-weighted images, suggesting the importance of diffusion-weighted images in the early stage of cerebellitis.
