| ABSTRACT |
|
Spontaneous acute cerebellar hemorrhage is not really a rare lesion and their incidence is greater than is previously appreciated, accounting for ten percent of all spontaneous intracranial hemorrhages. And it is not easy to understand why it is rarely diagnosed clinically and is explosive course in its nature. Therefore, successful management entails early correct recognition, followed by early surgical intervention. In many cases, the cerebellar signs & other neurological signs are of little value in the localization of cerebellar hemorrhage. In such cases, CT scan may prove to be a rapid & reliable method for localizing acute cerebellar hemorrhage. The authors collected three cases of spontaneous acute cerebellar hemorrhage which were diagnosed by computed tomography, admitted to the department of neurosurgery of National Medical Center from June 1979 to October 1980 and all patients received suboccipital craniectomy. |
