Svensk definition
Primära tumörer eller metastaser i lillhjärnan. Tumörer lokaliserade i lillhjärnan yttrar sig ofta i form av ataxi eller förhöjt intrakraniellt tryck pga obstruktion av den fjärde ventrikeln. Vanliga primära cerebellumtumörer inkluderar fibrillärt astrocytom och cerebellärt hemangioblastom. Lillhjärnan utgör ofta målorgan för metastaser från tumörer i lungor, bröst eller andra, avlägsna organ.
Engelsk definition
Primary or metastatic neoplasms of the CEREBELLUM. Tumors in this location frequently present with ATAXIA or signs of INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION due to obstruction of the fourth ventricle. Common primary cerebellar tumors include fibrillary ASTROCYTOMA and cerebellar HEMANGIOBLASTOMA. The cerebellum is a relatively common site for tumor metastases from the lung, breast, and other distant organs. (From Okazaki & Scheithauer, Atlas of Neuropathology, 1988, p86 and p141)
