Question 1

what is the definition or description of: cerebellar hemorrhage?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Bleeding in the cerebellum in the brain.

Question 2

i am a basket case. my son has cerebellar hemorrhage. can you tell me something about it?

Accepted Answer

Cerebellar hemorrhag: Cerebellar hemorrhage is a scary event. It presents with acute, severe headache, dizziness, possibly vertigo, and inability to walk normally. The bleeding occurs in the hind-part of the brain, the cerebellum, which controls coordination. In almost 98% of cases, there is no need for surgery to evacuate a small clot, and you just wait for the blood to be reabsorbed and control risk factors like bp.

Question 3

a friend's child was just diagnosed with cerebellar hemorrhage, is that a serious condition?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely: Any bleeding in the brain is extremely serious and critical.
The cerebellum is especially critical because it is a small compartment in the base of your skull and pressure can build rapidly causing pressure on the brainstem and death.
I hope the hemorrhage is small and your friends child does well.

Question 4

my father has cerebellar hemorrhage. what should i tell him?

Accepted Answer

Control BP: Cerebellar hemorrhage may result in permanent deficits but often also may not. The most frequent cause is uncontrolled hypertension. If your dad is doing ok after the initial event, i would recomend he get his BP under control and maintain other cardiotonic therapies such as diet exercize statins as appropriate

Question 5

what kind of treatment are available for a cerebellar hemorrhage?

Accepted Answer

Depends on size: Cerebellar hemorrhages can be life threatening if they are large and/or are causing compression of the brainstem. Large hemorrhages often require surgery to remove the blood clot. If the hemorrhage is small, it can usually be observed and will resolve over time. The underlying cause of the hemorrhage (avm, aneurysm, tumor or long standing hypertension) should be investigated.

Question 6

mri shows chronic  infarct right cerebellar hemisphere and inferior vermis with internal hemorragic areas.treatment & prognos? time f complt recovery?

Accepted Answer

Depends upon cause: A cerebellar infarct in someone of your age would likely be due to an embolic cause.  Considerations include vertebral dissection, valvular heart disease, or hypercoagulable state.  The treatment is different in each case.
As far as recovery, the human brain is quite plastic and will continue to improve as long as you stimulate it.  In cerebellar disease special attention is paid to balance.

Question 7

cat scan result: 1. nervous tissue of the brain and cerebellum with normal density, no focal changes. 2. no intracranial haemorrhage. ventricular system in the middle position, not dilated. but no conclusion (i.e normal) so are these results ok?

Accepted Answer

: The cited report does not indicate any area of pathological involvement.  Therefore, the findings are indeed NORMAL!

Question 8

lrg mass in the pouch of doug, based on the "pedicle sign", suspect ovary is the origin heterogeneous, hemorrhagic and cystic elems, what surgery

Accepted Answer

Surgery: Because of your age, your surgeon may be more inclined to do a laparotomy with probably complete hysterectomy with both tubes and ovaries.  However, if your CA-125 is normal he/she may offer laparoscopy to remove the mass.  More than likely it will be the first option.

Question 9

are splinter hemorrhages in fingernails a sign of leukemia?

Accepted Answer

: Not necessarily. A splinter hemorrhage could result from trauma. The usual disease one thinks of on seeing splinter hemorrhage is bacterial endocarditis.

Wish you good health!

Question 10

are recurrent ovarian luteal cysts - hemorrhagic, some complex, often large - a sign of an underlying problem? is there a treatment?

Accepted Answer

Hemorrhagic Cysts: Recurrent, painful ovulation resulting in "bloody" cysts may result from taking medication such as blood thinners or from coagulation disorders such as von willenbrand's disease . Endometriosis in the ovaries is often confused with "hemorrhagic cysts". A thorough evaluation is warranted in this situation.
