    AbstractCerebellar injuries can cause syntax impairments. Cortical dysfunction due to cerebello-cerebral diaschisis is assumed to play a role in this phenomenon. Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies have repeatedly shown the activation of Broca's area in response to syntactic tasks. However, there have been no reports of selective syntax impairment and hypoperfusion restricted to this area after cerebellar injury. We herein report a patient with right cerebellar hemorrhage that led to marked syntax impairment along with severe hypoperfusion confined to the Brodmann area (BA) 45 (anterior part of Broca's area) and BA46.
