Course

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis — remote cerebellar effects after supratentorial stroke and imaging clues (Advanced)

Advanced course: sometimes a large cortical stroke causes reduced function/blood flow in the opposite cerebellum (diaschisis) without a primary cerebellar infarct. Learn the network concept and how perfusion/metabolic imaging can show it

Educational only — not medical advice.

What you'll learn

  • Understand diaschisis as remote network suppression after stroke
  • Recognize that symptoms can reflect network effects beyond the core infarct
  • Understand what types of imaging can show diaschisis (perfusion/metabolic) at a high level
  • Ask questions about prognosis and rehab implications
