title: Cerebellar hemorrhage: unusual ventriculographic findings.
abstract: A case of a cerebellar (vermian) hematoma that communicated with the fourth ventricle as seen on air study is presented. Although vertebral angiography appears to be the first diagnostic procedure of choice, the angiographic study may not be definitive diagnostically because it may be difficult to distinguish fourth ventricular enlargement from a cystic hematoma cavity in communication with the fourth ventricle. An air study may then be required to differentiate between such diagnostic possibilities.
