Background:
The cerebellum has extensive connections with motor and nonmotor areas of the nervous system. These nonmotor areas include the cognitive, affective, and perceptual areas of the central nervous system. Extensive literature has emerged cognitive documents and mood disorders in patients with cerebellar dysfunction. Perceptual disturbances consistent with cerebellar connections with perceptual areas have not been as widely documented. Case Presentation. We present the case of a 58-year-old female presenting with new onset isolated auditory hallucinations and incidental findings of cerebellar calcifications.
Conclusion:
In light of this case, we discuss an expanding body of evidence that suggests the likely role of the cerebellum in perceptual functioning.
