Remote cerebellar haemorrhage

Abstract

Purpose Remote cerebellar haemorrhage is a rare and poorly understood complication of neurosurgery. Methods and results Based on four cases and a literature review of the fifteen last years, we try to describe and analyse this complication Conclusion Remote cerebellar haemorrhage must be considered in patients with unexplained neurological deterioration after cerebral or spinal surgery. Even if mechanism is still unknown venous origin seems obvious. Therefore neurological examination and emergency neuroradiological imaging are needed for patient management.
