IntroductionTransient cerebellar eye closure (TCES) is a rare complication of cerebellar tumor surgery in children. The pathogenesis of this problem remains unclear, and controversy exists regarding whether it is a purely psychogenic disorder or an organic syndrome. The anatomical substrate for this transient eye closure remains unknown. Most of the cases reported were associated with the syndrome of mutism.Case ReportWe encountered a case of post-operative TCES in a 5-year-old girl with posterior fossa tumor.ResultsWe are presenting this rare complication with the hope of elucidating further on clinical course of illness and literature review on the possible pathophysiological mechanism.
