title: Recovery following brainstem hemorrhage.
abstract: Two patients made virtually complete recoveries following hemorrhage within the brainstem. Progressive clinical deterioration in each case was managed surgically by evacuation of the hemorrhagic lesion in 1 case and treatment of secondary hydrocephalus in both. Computerized tomographic scanning proved essential for nonsurgical diagnosis and later management.
