Abstract:
Classically, only lesions in the cerebral cortex have been thought to cause the epilepsy. Although the cerebellar infarction is presented with ataxia, dysmetria and dizziness, we experienced a patient of cerebellar infarction developed immediately after or simultaneously with a clinical seizure. A brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed acute cerebellar infarction on the bilateral cerebellar hemisphere.
