Paraneoplastic cerebellar degeneration (PCD), the one of rare paraneoplastic syndromes, refer to clinical disorders associated mostly with lung, ovarian and breast cancer, but not directly caused by cancer or its metastasis. PCD is a condition whereby the Purkinje cells of the cerebellar cortex are damaged secondary to an autoimmune process. We report here on the case of PCD of subacute onset in a patient at 7 months after surgery for ovarian cancer. Although the cases of PCD has rarely been reported, the present case appears to be the first in Korea in which PCD was associated with anti-Yo antibody in patient with chemotherapy-responsive ovarian cancer. The clinical significance of PCD associated with anti-Yo antibody is reviewed.

Vestibular neuritis is characterized by rapid onset of vertigo, nausea and vomiting without neurological symptoms or signs, but central vestibular lesions can cause similar symptoms and signs. A 66-year-old woman previously diagnosed with ovarian cancer initially presented with vertigo. The patient had typical symptoms and signs of vestibular neuritis. As time proceeded, the patient presented with bilateral catch-up saccade and the symptoms and signs of cerebellar dysfunction. Magnetic resonance image and computed tomography scan showed brain metastasis surrounded by edematous lesion. We report an ovarian cancer patient with metastasis mimicking vestibular neuritis with a review of related literature.

We report a case of chronic encapsulated intracerebellar hematoma occurring during infancy. An 18 month-old boy was admitted because for 3 months, his head could not be held upright, but fell to the left. Computed tomographic(CT) scanning and magnetic resonance imaging(MRI) of the brain revealed a round mass at the cerebellar vermis ; the lesion simulated a cerebellar tumor such as a medulloblastoma. The mass was surgically removed and found to be a well-encapsulated organized intracerebral hematoma. The characteristic clinical and radiologic findings and histopathologic features are discussed, and a survey of the literature is included.
