Abstract
BACKGROUND Posterior fossa syndrome (PFS) is an important complication of posterior fossa surgery in children. The pathophysiology of this condition remains unclear, but there is evidence implicating surgical injury of the proximal efferent cerebellar pathway (pECP) and the cerebellar vermis to PFS. We aimed to evaluate if diffusion abnormalities involving these structures on the final intraoperative MRI can predict the development of PFS. METHODS Diffusion-weighted imaging from 31 posterior fossa resections were anonymized and evaluated for abnormalities involving the dentate nucleus, superior cerebellar peduncle, and the mesencephalic tegmentum forming the pECP, vermis, and middle cerebellar peduncle. The case notes were independently evaluated for evidence of PFS. RESULTS The diffusion imaging in 28 cases was of optimal quality for evaluation. Diffusion abnormalities were identified in 10 cases, 7 of which involved the pECP. Retrospective evaluation revealed evidence of PFS in 6 cases. There was a significant association between abnormalities involving pECP structures (P = .001) and development of PFS. Bilateral involvement of pECP (P = .006) was a highly specific risk factor for predicting the development of PFS. Diffusion abnormality of the inferior vermis was significantly associated with PFS (P = .001) but may not represent a risk factor in isolation. CONCLUSION This study demonstrates the feasibility of identifying children at risk for developing PFS at the earliest stage post tumor resection and thus adds to the growing evidence base on its pathophysiology.
