A treatise on the nervous diseases of children : for physicians and students. ng paralysis of the rectus externus, is extremely common in TUMORS OF THE BRAIN AND ITS MENINGES. 567 cerebellar tumors, and in some cases the diagnosis of cerebellar tumor maybe corroborated by the early involvement of the seventh and eighth one case of cerebellar tumor in the adult, seen by the author in connectionwith Dr. Stieglitz, the patient complained at first of nothing but dizziness,occasional vomiting, slight occipital headaches, and in walking he exhibiteda very slight degree of staggering, which at times disappeared altogether;but the electrical examinations of the facial nerve of the right side showedbeginning reaction of degeneration while the paralysis was still very slight,and a reaction of degeneration, too, in the auditory nerve, with deafness ofthis same side. Both these symptoms were so slight that they might wellhave been overlooked. As the case progressed the staggering and the facialparalysis became more complete, hearing remained permanently involved,. Fig. 149. -Tumor (Sarcoma) of the Cerebellum.
