Intracranial brain metastasis from sigmoid colon cancers is a rare occurrence in clinical practice. Moreover, metastasis to the cerebellum is even rare. Here, we are reporting a case 52 years male patient previously operated for sigmoid colon cancer presented with cerebellum metastasis causing obstructive hydrocephalus. He presented to an emergency department with abrupt onset vertigo, vomiting, dysarthria and truncal ataxia. The lobulated mass was found in the cerebellum compressing the fourth ventricle on C. T. brain imaging. He was operated for suboccipital craniotomy with subtotal cerebellar tumour excision.
