ABSTRACT
Spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage accounts for about 10% of all cases of cerebral hemorrhage and 15% of all cases of cerebellar stroke. The mortality is about 30%-50% in 30 d after onset. Patients with cerebellar hemorrhage can rapidly deteriorate due to enlarged hematoma and/or brain stem compression, leading to coma and death. Therefore, hematoma evacuation is the preferred treatment for spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage, especially in patients with hematoma diameter >3 cm and accompanied by brainstem compression or hydrocephalus.
