abstract = {(1) Background: A lesion within the dentato-rubro-olivary
pathway (DROP) in the posterior fossa can cause secondary
neurodegeneration of the inferior olivary nucleus: so-called
hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD). The clinical
syndrome of HOD occurs slowly over months and may be
overlooked in progressive neuro-oncological diseases.
Posterior fossa tumors are often located near these
strategic structures. The goal of this study was to analyze
the systematics of HOD occurrence in neuro-oncological
patients. (2) Methods: The neuroradiological database of the
university healthcare center was scanned for HOD-related
terms from 2010 to 2019. After excluding patients with other
causes of HOD, 12 datasets from neuro-oncological patients
were analyzed under predetermined criteria. (3) Results:
Patients received multimodal tumor treatments including
neurosurgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. HOD occurred
both unilaterally (left n = 4; right n = 5) and bilaterally
(n = 3). Though the mass effect of posterior fossa tumors
had already affected strategic structures of the DROP, none
of the patients showed signs of HOD on MRI until therapeutic
measures including neurosurgery affecting the DROP were
applied. HOD was visible on MRI within a median of 6 months
after the neurosurgical intervention. In $67\%,$ the
presumed underlying surgical lesion in the DROP lay in the
contralateral dentate nucleus. (4) Conclusion: In a selected
cohort of neuro-oncological patients, therapeutic lesions
within the DROP were associated with HOD occurrence.},
