Review Case Reports
[Remote cerebellar hemorrhage after cervical spinal surgery: two case reports and literature review].
Remote cerebellar hemorrhage (RCH) following spinal surgery is extremely rare. We present two cases of RCH following cervical spinal surgery. The first case is a 71-year-old female. ⋯ Rapid loss of a great amount of cerebrospinal fluid might be the causative factor of RCH. RCH might occur after any type of spinal surgery with dural tear or intradural manipulation. Early diagnosis is particularly important for the treatment of RCH following spinal surgery and spinal drainage might be useful to manage cerebrospinal fluid leakage.
