Abstract

Background

Cerebellopontine angle (CPA) tumours in paediatric patients are rare. Cerebellar seizures are infrequent and scarcely discussed. Only one case of paediatric cerebellar seizure due to a CPA tumour is available in the literature.

Methods

We present a 4-year-old girl with features of cerebellar seizure and fever, who was initially managed for febrile convulsion for 8 months at various private facilities. We also conduct a comprehensive search of English-language medical literature on PubMed, Google Scholar, and grey literature using free Google search with the appropriate keywords.

Results

Twenty-three English-language medical literature were published, with 25 cases whose age at presentation ranged from 1 day to 122 months and male: female ratio of 1.18:1. Only one child with cerebellar seizure had CPA tumour, while the rest variously originated from the cerebellum, brainstem or within the fourth ventricle. The age at surgery ranged between one month to 122 months.

Conclusion

Cerebellar seizures should prompt consideration of posterior fossa lesions as a possible cause, provided there are no supratentorial lesions.
