Abstract

• During a mumps outbreak between 1987 and 1988, six children presented with symptoms of acute cerebellar involvement as the sole neurologic complication. The neurologic symptoms followed parotitis and lasted for up to 3 weeks. Serologic evidence was suggestive of recent mumps infection. Symptoms spontaneously resolved in all patients without any residual signs or symptoms during 2- to 2.5-year follow-up.

(AJDC. 1992;146:930-931)
