An international society, founded 2014
Understanding, preventing, and treating posterior fossa syndrome
The Posterior Fossa Society brings together clinicians and researchers who study posterior fossa syndrome, also known as cerebellar mutism syndrome, in children after surgery for a brain tumor. Our meetings and special interest groups share research, build collaborations, and work to improve prevention and recovery.
Surgery, diagnosis, imaging, and rehabilitation
Consensus recommendations for neurosurgeons, guidance for radiologists, tools for diagnosis and scoring, and current rehabilitation practice.
How the syndrome arises, and how children recover
What research has revealed about the causes of posterior fossa syndrome, and what long-term studies show about how children recover speech, movement, thinking, and daily life.
Patient and caregiver experiences
