Pilot Study: Functional Imaging of Cerebellar Mutism Syndrome
Observational
Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective
investigate the feasibility of performing preoperative fMRI
in young children at risk for developing CMS after posterior fossa brain tumor resection. Age appropriate language functional MRI tasks targeting the cerebellar language centers will be performed in children before surgery and correlated with formal neuropsychological and language testing. The fMRI will be repeated after surgery. If ≥7 of the 10 subjects successfully complete ≥60% of the functional imaging tests, we will determine the pilot study to be successful and then pursue further study.
