Cerebellar infarction is not a rare disease, representing between 2 to 4% of all cerebrovascular events in clinical and autopsy series, and their ratio is 4-5 times higher than cerebellar hemorrhage.

Mutism occurs primarily in children and occasionally in adults as a well-recognized complication of posterior fossa surgery.
