摘要: Background/Aims: Childhood-acquired cerebellar studies to date have appeared present a concordant pattern of specific neuropsychological profiles depending on lesion site. The aim was determine the impact tumour specifically language function in children by reporting both general and high-level abilities 4 cases with differing sites hemispheric vermal involvement. Methods: ( aged from 7 years 9 months 13 years), treated surgery and/or radiotherapy for 6 3 previously, were examined. A standardized battery assessments administered. Results: Analysis revealed intact across all measures language, including receptive expressive vocabulary naming. While 2 also demonstrated skills measures, remaining deficits linguistic problem solving at after treatment. Follow-up assessment 1 case further decline this area 12 later. Conclusion: Findings examined supported previous reports impairments thinking flexibility following damage childhood. Copyright (c) 2007 S. Karger AG, Basel.
