Although it is quite common after posterior </span><span>fossa</span><span> 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.</span><br /><br /><br />}, number={1}, journal={Sultan Qaboos University Medical Journal}, author={Kariyattil, Rajeev and Rahim, Mohamed I.
