ABSTRACT
Objective To study clinical characteristics and CT features of cerebellar hemorrhage in the elderly patients in order to make early diagnosis and treatment. Methods The clinical characteristics, CT scan, sites and causes of hemorrhage, as well as the treatment and the prognosis of 32 elderly patients with cerebellar hemorrhage were analysed. Results The main clinical symptoms were vomiting, vertigo and headache and were observed in 32(100.0%), 26(81.2%) and 18(56.2%) cases, respectively. High motality rate was observed in hemorrhage volume≥25 ml, patients aged over 70 years and accomanied with cerebral hernia and multi-organ failure. Conclusions The clinical manifestations of cerebellar hemorrhage were not typical in the elderly. Cerebral hernia and multiple organ failure were the main causes of death. Hypertension and artherosclerosis were the main etiologies of cerebellar hemorrhage. The early diagnosis is necessary for the treatment of cerebellar hemorrhage. The prognosis was related to the quantity and site of hemorrhage.
