Pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis is a rare presentation of acute cerebellitis, which involves the inflammation of a single cerebellar hemisphere and most commonly affects children. It mimics a tumor on imaging, hence given the name. In this report, we present a case of pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis in a 30-year-old male who presented to the emergency room (ER) with complaints of vertigo, vomiting, and a headache.

Acute cerebellitis is a rare condition with a highly heterogenous clinical course, ranging from self-limiting mild symptoms to a fulminant presentation. Symptoms include headache, vomiting, fever, ataxia, dysarthria, intention tremor, meningism, seizures, and altered level of consciousness. It warrants a high level of suspicion because of the risk of intracranial hypertension and acute hydrocephalus due to compression of the posterior fossa.

Article Synopsis
- Pseudotumoral hemicerebellitis is an acute inflammation of the cerebellum primarily affecting children, and this study aims to assess the effectiveness of systemic corticosteroids in speeding up recovery.
- A case report of a 12-year-old male with this condition is included, along with a review of 35 other cases focusing on recovery times.
- Results indicate that patients treated with corticosteroids had a mean recovery time of 48.05 days, compared to 86.7 days for those who were not treated, suggesting that corticosteroids may significantly help in recovery.
