Tumors of the cerebellum and brainstem account for half of all brain tumors in children. The realization that cerebellar lesions produce clinically relevant intellectual disability makes it important to determine whether neuropsychological abnormalities occur in long-term survivors of pediatric cerebellar tumors. Little is known about the neurobehavioral sequale resulting specifically from the resection of these tumors in this population. We therefore reviewed neuropsychological findings associated with postoperative cerebellar mutism syndrome and discuss the further implications for cerebellar cognitive function.
小脑和脑干肿瘤占儿童所有脑肿瘤的一半。认识到小脑病变会导致具有临床意义的智力残疾，这使得确定小儿小脑肿瘤的长期幸存者是否存在神经心理异常变得很重要。对于该人群中这些肿瘤切除后所产生的神经行为后遗症，人们了解甚少。因此，我们回顾了与术后小脑缄默综合征相关的神经心理学研究结果，并讨论了对小脑认知功能的进一步影响。
