All presented with headache of 10\u2013180 days duration, excellent premorbid learning performance and paucity of neurologic signs. Radiographic studies demonstrated large posterior fossa tumor occupying the fourth ventricle, and hydrocephalus, leading to gross total resection of the tumor. Within 24\u201348 hr, all patients were mute. None had problems with swallowing and coughing. AH were able to nod \u201cyes or no,\u201d follow commands, point to body parts, and make their wants known by gestures. Jaw, gag, snout and palmomental reflexes were normal. CT scan and MRI Brain showed no cerebral hemispheric lesions. All children regained speech although dysarthric, within 5\u201312 weeks. Twenty\u2010two previously reported cases are similar to ours. We conclude that this post\u2010surgical mutism syndrome is unique and must be differentiated from aphemia, Broca's aphasia, hysterical mutism and elective mutism. The cerebellum, in a way not yet understood, does play a role in speech production. \u00a9 Wiley\u2010Liss, Inc.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/jso.2930550214","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,2,20]],"date-time":"2007-02-20T13:15:46Z","timestamp":1171977346000},"page":"126-131","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":18,"title":["Transient mutism following posterior fossa surgery in children"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"55","author":[{"given":"Ahmed","family":"Al\u2010Jarallah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jay David","family":"Cook","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Generoso","family":"Gascon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Imaduddin","family":"Kanaan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Edir","family":"Sigueira","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,7,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_2","first-page":"57","volume-title":"Concepts in Pediatric Neurosurgery","author":"Humphreys RP","year":"1987"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/BF01406016"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_2","unstructured":"YonemasuY: Cerebellar mutism and speech disturbance as a complication of posterior fossa surgery in children.
