Abstract

Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) is a phenomenon of functional diaschisis that occurs after damage to the cerebral hemisphere and results in decreased activity of the cerebellum outside the primary focus. In this case report, we present the case of a patient admitted for seizures who was diagnosed with CCD due to Mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS). This event is generally observed in ischemic stroke cases and can occur epileptic seizure disorders. However, association of CCD with MTS is very rare. This article provides a comprehensive overview of CCD and related MRI findings to better understand their pathophysiology, clinical implications, and potential therapeutic approaches. The article highlights the importance of MRI in CCD detection and monitoring and discusses its usefulness in different clinical scenarios.
