Year | Age/gender | Symptoms | Brain imaging | CSF analysis | Treatment | Outcome |
|
1997 (Hayase and Tobita) [1] | 31/F | Fever, ataxia | Normal | Normal | NA | NA |
|
2004 (De Bruecker et al.) [30] | 4/F | Headache, fever, and neck stiffness | MRI showed abnormalities in both cerebellar hemispheres and the vermis | Elevated protein concentration and leucocyte cell | NA | NA |
|
2006 (Tlili-Graiess et al.) [4] | 4 patients 2-7/F-M | Headache, fever, vomiting, ataxia | In two cases, initial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (2 cases) demonstrated increased intensity on T2W and flair sequences of the cerebellar gray matter | High lymphocytes and proteins in samples from 3 children; normal values for 1 child | Prednisone (all patients) | Complete resolution of symptoms in 3 cases; persistent mild right upper limb paresis in 1 |
|
2006 (Ishikawa et al.) [9] | 25/F | Fever, headache | T2-weighted brain MRI demonstrated a high signal lesion in the cerebellar cortex | Pleocytosis | Oseltamivir | Truncal ataxia normalized after 3 months |
|
2010 (Apok et al.) [7] | 14/F | Ataxia | Hydrocephalus | NA | NA | Residual left-sided ataxia after 3 months |
|
2013 (Hackett et al.) [8] | 6/F | Headache, worsening dysarthria and ataxia | MRI of the brain confirmed findings consistent with cerebellitis | Normal | Oseltamavir | All symptoms fully resolved after 1 week |
|
2013 (Sfeir and Najem) [10] | 37/F | Fever, headache | Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed enlarged bilateral cerebellar hemispheres with evidence of hypointensity | Pleocytosis | Oseltamivir | All symptoms fully resolved after 2 months |
