Abstract AR
يعد الخرس الدماغي نادر الحدوث عقب الرضح عند الأطفال.
و على الرغم من أنه شائع بعد عمليات الجراحة في الحفرة الخلفية عند الأطفال, إلا أنه لم تسجل إلا نادرا عقب مختلف أنواع الأذية مثل الرضح.
و ما زالت فيزويولوجيته المرضية غير مفهومة تماما.
و هنا نسجل حالة طفل في السابعة من عمره أحضر لقسم الحوادث في مستشفى جامعة السلطان قابوس في مسقط بعمان في مايو 2013 م مصابا برضى رضحية في يمين الدماغ.
و أظهر الطفل علامات سريرية للخرس الدماغي, إلا أنه سرعان ما شفا بسرعة و بتلقائية.
و نناقش هنا آلية حدوث هذه الحالة.
Abstract EN
Cerebellar mutism is a rare occurrence following paediatric trauma.
Although it is quite common after posterior fossa surgery in children, this phenomenon has rarely been reported following other insults, such as trauma, and its pathophysiology remains poorly understood.
We report a seven-year-old child who presented to the casualty department of Sultan Qaboos University Hospital in Muscat, Oman, in May 2013 with a traumatic right cerebellar contusion.
The child presented with clinical features of cerebellar mutism but underwent a rapid and spontaneous recovery.
The possible mechanism of this occurrence is discussed.
