The postoperative cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) is an unique acute postoperative complication characterized by transient decrease in speech output (often mutism), apathy, irritability as well as global cerebellar dysfunction. As much as 25% of patients undergoing a resection of a cerebellar or IV ventricular tumor may develop such a syndrome. In this retrospective study we characterize the clinical features of the CMS and explore potential etiologic mechanisms.
