title: [Conservative treatment of post-traumatic intracerebellar hematoma].
abstract: In previous years many authors stressed the very rare occurrence and difficulties in establishing of early diagnosis in cases of posttraumatic haematomas in the posterior cranial caeity, among them also the intracerebellar ones. The detection rate of this condition has increased greatly after introduction of computed tomography in the diagnosis of complications following craniocerebral trauma, changing also the view on the method of its treatment. Although before the introduction of CT the prevailin view was that all intracerebellar haematomas should be treated sugically the present opinion is that some of them meeting certain criteria (small size, peripheral situation in the cerebellar hemispheres laterally to the midline, absence of symptoms of intracranial hypertension, and the possibility of frequent CT control) may be treated successively without surgical intervention with adwantage to the patient. Two cases are presented in which intracerebellar haematomas were treated conserwatively. The authors review the pertinent literature stressing the criteria which should be considered in the qualification of patients for this management.
