Abstract
Cerebellar hemorrhage accounts for 10% of intracranial hemorrhage, it has a mortality rate of
20-75%, it usually occurs in the elderly and is associated with hypertension in most cases. Recommended for hematoma evacuation, decompressive craniectomy with or without EVD for patients with severe cognitive impairment, it caused by brainstem compression and/or hydrocephalus from ventricular obstruction, or have cerebellar hemorrhage volume ≥ 15mL. We report a case of large cerebellar hemorrhage with ventricular obstruction who was treated successfully with decompressive craniectomy, hematoma evacuation, combined with EVD at 108 Military Central Hospital. The purpose of this report to emphasize for a combination of therapeutic measures, and recommendation for the important role of early surgery for improving functional outcome.
