Abstract
To evaluate the difference in prognosis between hypertensive (HTN) and normotensive (NTN) cerebellar hemorrhages, we compared 20 HTN with 7 NTN patients with cerebellar hemorrhage. A series of 27 cerebellar hemorrhages diagnosed by CT scan in Seoul National University Hospital were divided into two groups: hypertensive(HTN) and normotensive (NTN). We analyzed two groups about clinical and radiological findings including outcome. We also evlauated the factors that had an effect on the prognosis of cerebellar hemorrhage. The etiologies of NTN were AVM in four, tumor in two and one unknown cause. The prognostic factors in both groups were initial consciousness level, degree of hydrocephalus, quadrigeminal cisternal obliteration, hematoma size and volume while the differences between HTN and NTN were age, hematoma size and volume, quadrigeminal obliteration and outcome. Therefore, the hematoma size. Volume and quadrigeminal cisternal obliteration might lead to poorer outcome in HTN group. We concluded that hypertensive cerebellar hemorrhages revealed poorer progonsis than normotensive cerebellar hemorrhage and hypertension should be considered as an underlying factor determining the prognosis of cerebellar hemorrhages.
