ABSTRACT
The authors analyzed 53 cases with spontaneous intracerebellar hemorrhage diagnosed by brain CT scan and assessed the correlation between the mental status at admission, the outcome and the CT findings. The location of hematoma, volume of hematoma, quadrigeminal cistern obliteration, intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus were correlated to the mental status assessed by GCS at admission. The GCS score at admission, location of hematoma, volume of hematoma, quadrigeminal cistern obliteration, intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus were correlated to the outcome. We conclude that decreased GCS score at admission, large volume of hematoma, quadrigeminal cistern obliteration, presence of intraventricular hemorrhage and hydrocephalus could be considered as surgical indications and contributing factors for poor prognosis in the patients with spontaneous intracerebellar hemorrhage.
