Abstract Background The most dangerous and least curable type of stroke is spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and prognosis is highly correlated with location and size in the posterior fossa. The objective of this work was to estimate the frequency of posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) in Tanta University Hospitals, as well as identify functional outcomes and mortality in PFH. Methods This study was performed on 33 posterior fossa hemorrhagic patients and 119 posterior ischemic stroke patients (PCIS) submitted to the CT brain and the MRI brain, using the following scales: GCS and NIHSS, and the intracerebral hemorrhage scale (ICH score). Results Posterior fossa hemorrhage (PFH) represents 16.83% of total hemorrhagic stroke in the ER. Vertigo and DCL are more common in PFH (60.6%, 48.4%) than in PCIS. 82% of PFH patients had hypertension (HTN) hemorrhage. The cerebellum is the most common site for PFH (48%), pontine (24%), thalamic (18%), and midbrain (9%). PFH had unfavorable outcomes in 55% of the studied patients; the MRS mean was 4; and 39% died in the follow-up. Conclusion Posterior fossa hemorrhage is a potentially serious neurovascular emergency associated with complex symptomatology. PFH demonstrates diverse prognoses depending on the location of the intracerebral hemorrhage and the size of the hematoma. |
