Acute postinfectious cerebellitis is characterised by inflammatory involvement of the cerebellum and consequent cerebellar dysfunction, usually presenting a benign and self-limited course. Common symptoms described in the literature include ataxia, peripheral facial paralysis, aphasia, spinal dysfunction and eventually hydrocephalus. We describe a rare presentation of acute cerebellitis after varicella, in a 6-year-old child, who presented with ataxia, dysmetria, mutism and pathological laughter.
急性感染后小脑炎的特征是小脑出现炎症并随之导致小脑功能障碍，通常呈良性且自限性病程。文献中描述的常见症状包括共济失调、周围性面瘫、失语、脊髓功能障碍，最终可出现脑积水。我们报告一名6岁儿童在水痘感染后出现急性小脑炎的罕见病例，该患儿表现为共济失调、辨距不良、缄默症和病理性哭笑。
