Acute cerebellitis (AC) is a benign and self-limiting inflammatory disease. It typically occurs as a primary infectious or postinfectious disorder. Although AC mostly presents in early childhood, it can appear in adult. A 66-year-old man admitted to our hospital because of limb and gait ataxia. Three weeks ago, he took an influenza vaccination. There was no abnormality on brain MRI with contrast enhancement, but Technetium-99m hexamethyl propylene amine oxime-single photon emission computed tomography (HMPAO-SPECT) showed markedly cerebellar asymmetry, suggesting hypoperfusion in the right cerebellum. Influenza vaccination can cause AC in the elderly and brain HMPAO-SPECT imaging is more useful than MRI in identifying patients with AC.

Background and Purpose

Psychogenic movement disorders (PMD) after war or mass vaccination was reported and well known disease entity already. However, we have seldom been met those patients because we don’t have any chance to experience of those events. Recently, influenza A (H1N1) spreads around world, and many countries have a program of mass vaccination of H1N1. Although PMD in adult is well characterized, childhood-onset PMD has not been extensively studied.

Case Reports

We present four children of psychogenic gait disorders (PGDs) after mass school vaccination of H1N1. They had fluctuating weakness and their prognosis was good. We confirmed all patients as PGD by placebo.

Conclusions

Our four cases have two common characteristics. One is that all were young and their prognosis was good. And the other is that all were induced their abnormal gait symptoms after mass school vaccination. We observed that mass PMD has a different characteristics comparing to personal PMD, and PMD in children is differ from adult onset PMD.
