The characteristics of 23 adult patients with hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD) development after resection of midline posterior cranial fossa (PCF) tumors are shown. Surgery to diagnosis of HOD is defined as the length of time between tumor resection and discovery of inferior olivary nucleus (ION) hyperintensity on T2/FLAIR MR Iimaging.1018
