摘要：
A 22-year-old man was brought in by EMS for coma and respiratory failure. The initial diagnosis was an opioid overdose but the patient did not respond to naloxone. A head CT revealed findings consistent with cerebellitis. The patient developed obstructive hydrocephalus and herniation. Despite neurosurgical and ICU care, the patient did not recover. Cerebellitis is a seldom-discussed complication of opioid use which may become more common as the opioid and fentanyl epidemic evolves. (c) 2022 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
