Cerebellar peduncles are the structure connecting the cerebellum to the brain stem and the cerebrum. There exist three cerebellar peduncles. The superior cerebellar peduncle （SCP） involves vestibular sense and proprio- ception connecting to the thalamocortical pathway. The middle cerebellar peduncle （MCP） is the largest structure among the three cerebellar peduncles conveying impulses from the cerebral cortex to the cerebellum through corticopontocerebellar tract.展开更多

He reported discontinuous gas pains, no nausea, no vomiting and no blurred vision. He thought that he had a ＂common cold＂, but treatment for 3 days produced no result. He was diagnosed as having viral encephalitis after an examination including an electroencephalogram （EEG）, blood biochemistry and lumbar puncture, etc. in a local hospital on November 15. After further treatment for 3 days his symptoms became aggravated showing instability of gait and involuntary movement of his head and extremities. Cranial CT showed： a 4.0 cm×4.0 cm×5.0 cm lump in the cerebellar vermis which intruded into the fourth ventricle inducing evident distention of the third and lateral ventricle. He was diagnosed with blastoma of the cerebellum.展开更多
