Posterior fossa hemorrhage. Localization by computerized tomography.
The differentiation between pontine and cerebellar hemorrhage is important both prognostically and therapeutically but is often very difficult. Computerized axial tomography of the brain is a new, rapid, nonivasive method of studying intracranial disease. This technique proved useful in making this important differential diagnosis in the case reported here.
