A case of hydrocephalus in which a crossed cerebellar diaschisis with single photon emission CT (SPECT) using 123I-iodoamphetamine (123I-IMP) disappeared by a ventriculo-peritonial shunting operation, was reported. A 54-year-old female had a clipping surgery for a aneurysm of the left mid-dle cerebral artery on April 9, 1987. Post-opera-tively, she had a transient mild aphasia. Cerebral blood flow (CBF) study with 123I-IMP-SPECT had showed low perfusion in the left frontal and tem-poral lobe. But after a month, clinical symptom and CBF findings had improved.

She had been doing well after the discharge until October, 1987, when she developed disorien-tation. CT on re-admission showed the ventricular dilatation with periventricular low density (left> right). 123I-IMP-SPECT study showed the crossed cerebellar diaschisis which was a low perfusion in the left frontal, temporal, parietal, thalamus, basal ganglionic area and in the opposite cerebellum.

A ventriculo-peritonial shunting operation was performed which brought the disappearance of the crossed cerebellar diaschisis and the clinical im-provement.

The phenomenon of crossed cerebellar diaschi-sis has been reported in a lot of literatures. However, those diseases were located in unilate-ral supratentorium. It has been specurated that crossed cerebellar diaschisis is the transneural metabolic change through the cortico-ponto-cere-bellar pathway by supratentorial lesion.

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis in hydrocephalus has not been reported so far. As the mechanism of crossed cerebellar diaschisis in this case con-cerned, we specurate that the change of the brain tissue pressure by the transient brain damage in the past history, may cause abnormal extension of hydrostatic edema, resulting in transneural meta-bolic depression on the cortico-ponto-cerebellar pathway. It may be suggested that neural function is variable in hydrocephalus with brain damage.
