Cerebellar mutism syndrome (CMS) is a well-known complication after posterior fossa tumor surgery in pediatric patients. We evaluated the incidence of CMS in our institute and analyzed its association with multiple risk factors, such as tumor entity, surgical approach, and hydrocephalus. ⋯ Our CMS rate is comparable to those described in the literature. Despite the limitations of the retrospective study design, we found that CMS was not only associated with a transvermian approach but was also associated with a telovelar approach, although to a lesser extent. Acute hydrocephalus at the initial presentation necessitating urgent management was significantly associated with a greater incidence of CMS.
