Cerebellar hemorrhage caused by remote neurological surgery.

Background: Intracranial hemorrhage usually occurs as a complication of hypertension, coagulopathy, or trauma. In rare instances, remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) may complicate supratentorial or spinal surgery.

Methods: Retrospective case series study.

Results: We describe three cases of RCH complicating spinal and cranial surgical procedures associated with cerebrospinal fluid hypotension.

Conclusions: Remote cerebellar intracranial hemorrhage may complicate neurosurgical procedures in which cerebrospinal fluid hypotension occurs.
