title: Cerebellar hemorrhage caused by remote neurological surgery.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs as a complication of hypertension, coagulopathy, or trauma. In rare instances, remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) may complicate supratentorial or spinal surgery.
  
  
  METHODS
  Retrospective case series study.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We describe three cases of RCH complicating spinal and cranial surgical procedures associated with cerebrospinal fluid hypotension.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Remote cerebellar intracranial hemorrhage may complicate neurosurgical procedures in which cerebrospinal fluid hypotension occurs.
