ABSTRACT
Acute cerebellitis is postulated to result from viral and/or autoimmune etiologies. This disease has been reported to have a variable course. We report a case of sudden death from acute fulminant cerebellitis in a 13-year-old ballet dancer. Serial CT and MRI demonstrated rapid progression of the disease. Histopathologic correlation is provided. The etiologies, clinical course, therapeutic interventions and postmortem evaluation of this potentially life-threatening condition are briefly reviewed.
