摘要

Acute cerebellitis is an inflammatory syndrome characterized by cerebellar dysfunction, which often develops in children after certain viral infections. We present for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, a case of identical twin brothers who developed acute cerebellitis 8 days apart. The presence of the same magnetic resonance imaging lesions in both twins suggests viral transmission from one to the other.
