AbstractTwenty‐one adults with acute cerebellar softening confirmed by computerized tomography (CT) were divided into two groups according to clinical course, CT findings, and outcome. In the first group, cosisting of 6 patients, the condition ran a progressive courses, with deterioration of consciousness, signs of brainstem compression, and the appearance of hydrocephalus on CT scan. Three patients underwent surgery successfully, 2 died postoperatively, and 1 recovered spontaneously.
