Cerebellar hemorrhage and CT scanning.
We have reviewed the clinical syndrome of acute cerebellar hemorrhage and have presented five cases of cerebellar hemorrhage of various types in which CT scanning was a significant aid in management. Recognizing the clinical syndrome, establishing the diagnosis rapidly by CT scanning, and avoiding potentially lethal diagnostic procedures, are all of crucial importance in expediting surgical treatment and improving the morbidity and mortality associated with this entity.
