  • Title: Posterior fossa subdural hematoma mimicking intracerebellar hemorrhage.
    Author: Miranda P, Alday R, Lagares A, Pérez A, Lobato RD.
    Journal: Neurocirugia (Astur); 2003 Dec; 14(6):526-8. PubMed ID: 14710308.
    Abstract:
    Subdural hematomas of the posterior fossa are very rare and most cases are related to head injury. The influence of anticoagulation in cases of spontaneous development is well known. Although diagnosis is easily achieved by CT sean, atypical forms may lead to the wrong diagnosis of cerebellar hematoma. We present a case of a posterior fossa acute subdural hematoma occurring in an anticoagulated patient who was preoperatively misdiagnosed as an intracerebellar hemorrhage.
