 Brain tumors in children commonly arise in the posterior cranial fossa. Cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) has been reported to occur after posterior fossa brain tumor resection in children and is often considered transient. Recently, however, it has been pointed out that the impairment of speech and language, and also of cognitive, emotional and motor functions, persist for a long time after recovery from CMS. The present study examines the experience of four child patients who were evaluated for language and cognitive functions before and after brain tumor resection. Two of these patients developed CMS, of whom one presented with mutism while the other showed a decrease in prosody and speech rate. Both CMS patients had persistent problems not only with speech but also with verbal fluency. In addition, higher brain dysfunction was recognized in the case of mutism who recovered from the state of speechlessness. These findings are consistent with the comorbid symptoms of CMS noted in previous studies.
