The records of 50 cerebellar haemorrhages were reviewed retrospectively. In this series the most important factor for clinical development, management and mortality was the presence of obstructive hydrocephalus (p < 0.01). Slowly progressive (type 1) and abruptly developing (type 2) deterioration of consciousness was significantly related to high mortality; this holds also true for the combination of hydrocephalus with an haematoma diameter > 3 cm. Larger haematomas had a higher mortality but this relation, analyzed alone, did not reach statistical significance (p > 0.05). In cases with hydrocephalus mortality could significantly be reduced by surgical evacuation of the haematoma (p < 0.01). The treatment of cerebellar haemorrhages must be directed at resolving obstructive hydrocephalus. |
