Abstract

Wallerian degeneration of the inferior cerebellar peduncle has never been demonstrated on imaging studies. We describe a case in which it was depicted by thin slice diffusion weighted imaging. Location to the inferior cerebellar peduncle was confirmed by a fibre tracking method.

  • magnetic resonance imaging
  • diffusion weighted imaging
  • wallerian degeneration
  • inferior cerebellar peduncle
