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

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.
