| Summary: | Intracerebellar hematomas are single or multiple hematic collections localized on the cerebellar parenchyma, with an evolution similar to an intracranial expansive process.
If clinical examination opens the way to diagnose, the imagistics not only that can lead to an accurate diagnose in almost every case, but it also dictates the therapeutic strategy.Thus, our study is focused on establishing a link between imagistics and clinical presentation at the moment of patient's admission to hospital, patients with intracerebellar hematomas.
Our study comprised a number of 57 patients, with an age ranging from 32 to 82 years, all of them admitted either to neurology or neurosurgery sections of Clinic Emergency Hospital, “N. Oblu”, Iasi, over a perioad of 7 years, it was retrospective, descriptive and longitudinal based on a selection of medical data taken from the medical history of the patients diagnosed with intracerebral hematoma. During our study the following aspects were taken into consideration: computed - tomograph imagistic aspects - hematoma's dimension, localization and associated complication -, cerebellar hematoma's treatment and progress, as well as patient's clinical presentation at the moment of admission, age, gender.
