Hematoma of the brainstem in childhood.
Hematomas of the brainstem are revealed by signs of brainstem dysfunction. Sudden onset is characteristic but only demonstration of subarachnoid hemorrhage and typical CT-Scan appearance are diagnostic. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma may help in the acute stage but does not avoid recurrence; pronosis is guarded.
