Abstract

The present Cerebellar Classic highlights a paper published in 1908 by the American pathologist Simeon Burt Wolbach (1880-1954), in which he reported multiple hernias of the cerebellum for the first time in 9 cases of increased intracranial pressure. The importance of the meninges and the anatomy of involved compartments is emphasized.

Keywords: Cerebellum; Intracranial hypertension; Simeon Burt Wolbach (1880–1954).
