However, controversy remains concerning the management of patients with cerebellar hemorrhage. The aim of this study was to set the criteria for conservative or surgical treatment and predictive factors of poor outcomes. Methods: During the 5-year period from July through July, a series of consecutive patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage was evaluated. On admission, all patients underwent a standard neurological examination, and a computed tomography (CT) scan. The location and size of hematoma, hypertension, hydrocephalus, intraventricular hemorrhage and compression of quadrigeminal cistern on a CT scan were compared with the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) and Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS). Results: Patients with GCS scores of or more at admission and with a hematoma of less than 5 ml showed good outcomes. Patients with GCS scores of or less at admission or with a hematoma measuring 5 ml or more had poor outcomes. Patients with intraventricular hemorrhage (p.5), compression of quadrigeminal cistern (p.5), and hydrocephalus (p.5) in the brain CT had poor outcomes. Conclusions: In treating patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage, an initial GCS and CT scan were quite helpful in determining treatment strategies. For patients whose CT scan show intraventricular hemorrhages, compression of the quadrigeminal cistern, and hydrocephalus, intensive therapy should be deemed necessary.
