Management of 50 Spontaneous Cerebellar Haemorrhages* Importance of Obstructive Hydrocephalus
1993
The records of 50 cerebellar haemorrhages were reviewed retrospectively. In this series the most important factor for clinical development, management and mortality was the presence of obstructive hydrocephalus (p 3 cm. Larger haematomas had a higher mortality but this relation, analyzed alone, did not reach statistical significance (p>0.05). In cases with hydrocephalus mortality could significantly be reduced by surgical evacuation of the haematoma (p<0.01). The treatment of cerebellar haemorrhages must be directed at resolving obstructive hydrocephalus
