Owing to the narrow space, however, even a small amount of [[cerebellar hemorrhage]] can compress the [[brainstem]], resulting in rapid deterioration of clinical symptoms, leading to dangerous consequences
((St Louis EK, Wijdicks EF, Li H, Atkinson JD. Predictors of poor outcome in
patients with a spontaneous cerebellar hematoma. Can J Neurol Sci. 2000
Feb;27(1):32-6. PubMed PMID: 10676585.
))
((Yanaka K, Meguro K, Fujita K, Narushima K, Nose T. Immediate surgery reduces
mortality in deeply comatose patients with spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage.
Neurol Med Chir (Tokyo). 2000 Jun;40(6):295-9; discussion 299-300. PubMed PMID:

)).

For that reason, surgical treatments are more often necessary in cases of [[cerebellar hemorrhage]] compared to supratentorial [[intracerebral hematoma]]s
((Wu YT, Li TY, Chiang SL, Chu HY, Chang ST, Chen LC. Predictors of first-week
mortality in patients with acute spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage. Cerebellum.
2013 Apr;12(2):165-70. doi: 10.1007/s12311-012-0410-6. PubMed PMID: 22907124.
)).



To decrease mortality and morbidity rates, a rapid diagnosis must be made and adequate treatment administered immediately. However, compared to [[supratentorial]] lesions, the risk factors related to clinical and radiological findings are not well established in cases of cerebellar hemorrhage.
