Abstract
Hypertrophic olivary degeneration is a result of a primary lesion damaging the dento-rubro-olivary pathway. It is a transynaptic form of degeneration and is unique, causing hypertrophy rather than atrophy of the inferior olivary nucleus. We report a case of bilateral hypertrophic olivary degeneration following surgical excision of a posterior fossa epidermoid cyst and review the relevant literature.Entities:
