Remote Cerebellar Hemorrhage as an Unusual Complication of Supratentorial Surgery

Abstract

Remote cerebellar hemorrhage as a complication of supratentorial surgery is a rare entity in radiology literature, but not infrequently encountered in neurosurgical literature. Typical appearance and location in the posterior fossa, and remote site from the original surgical site, make the diagnosis easier if one aware of such a self-limiting condition. Diagnosis of this condition helps to differentiate it from other ominous causes of hemorrhage. In our institution, we came across such cases within a short period of time and present them as case reports along with review of the literature on this unusual complication.
