title: Neuro-oncological disorders of the cerebellum.
abstract: This article provides an overview of the intra-axial tumors that affect the cerebellum, which can be categorized by location and age. For each tumor, we review conventional neuroimaging findings and discuss the value of more advanced neuroimaging techniques. Current management strategies are also briefly discussed. Finally, cerebellar paraneoplastic disorders and medication-induced cerebellar disorders are discussed.
