  • Title: Isolated cerebellar infarction as a presenting symptom of polycythemia vera.
    Author: Hilzenrat N, Zilberman D, Sikuler E.
    Journal: Acta Haematol; 1992; 88(4):204-6. PubMed ID: 1292311.
    Abstract:
    Although polycythemia vera is one of the reported causes for cerebral infarction, isolated cerebellar infarction, a rare disorder, was never reported in combination with polycythemia vera. This is a report of a 72-year-old woman in whom isolated cerebellar infarction was the presenting manifestation of polycythemia vera. The patient was treated with recurrent phlebotomies until the hematocrit decreased to < 45%. This treatment was followed by marked neurological improvement. A better awareness of the possibility of cerebellar infarction in polycythemia vera may disclose additional cases.
