Background: Pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis is an acute, unilateral inflammation of the cerebellum that typically affects the pediatric population. The etiology remains to be elucidated, however frequently is attributed to post-infectious inflammation. Though it tends to be self-resolving, treatment may reduce the time to symptomatic recovery. Systemic corticosteroid therapy has been proposed as a mechanism for improving outcomes and time to symptomatic recovery. Methods: We present a case report of a 12-year-old male with pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis and unilateral cerebellar dysfunction. Additionally, we briefly review the additional 35 reported cases of pseudotumoural hemicerebellitis with respect to length of time to symptomatic recovery with or without systemic corticosteroid treatment. Results: 30 cases reported length of time to symptomatic recovery. Including our case, the mean time to recovery for those treated with systemic corticosteroids (n=20) was 48.05 days(SE=16.3). The mean time to recovery for those treated without (n=10) was 86.7 days(SE=29.3). Conclusions: Treatment with systemic corticosteroids was associated with a faster time to symptomatic recovery compared to without. Regardless of etiology, reducing inflammation and mass effect involved in pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis may be integral to a more rapid return to neurological baseline.
