Abstract Four children with intrinsic cerebellar peduncle lesions (three benign astrocytomas and one histiocytic encephalitis) are reported. Each patient underwent a resection of mass lesions through posterior fossa craniotomy with microsurgical techniques and a surgical laser. None showed permanent neurological deficits postoperatively. A brief anatomical consideration of cerebellar peduncle lesions and the surgical approach used are described.

Brain Stem Response

Sixteen patients with confirmed mass lesions of the posterior fossa and normal hearing sensitivity for pure tones were studied. Patients’ main symptoms, auditory brain-stem response (ABR), and lesion size were analyzed. All patients manifested neurologic and/or otoneurologic symptoms or complained of hearing difficulty disproportionate to their pure-tone findings. Interestingly, the patients in this select group were younger (mean = 34 years) than the typical patient with a posterior fossa tumor. ABR results were abnormal in 15 of the patients, although several indices—including absolute and interwave latencies, interaural latency difference, and wave presence/absence—were employed to achieve this sensitivity. Lesion size varied considerably and failed to correlate with ABR or pure-tone results.
