Cerebellar hemorrhage from a delayed cervical spine hardware migration

Cerebellar hemorrhage is often seen in patients with longtanding hypertension, vascular malformations, cerebral amyloid ngiopathy, or hemorrhagic tumors. We present the first case in the iterature of cerebellar hemorrhage after remote occipitocervical usion with screw and rod construct protrusion into the posterior ossa. This case report illustrates the necessity of evaluating individal patient characteristics and anatomy when choosing to perform n occipitocervical fusion for spine stability.
