Abstract

Cerebellar hemorrhage in adults is a well-described condition, but rarely occurs in children. Such hemorrhages in children are commonly results from arteriovenous malformations, trauma, infection or hematological abnormalities; a neoplastic origin is rare. We report a case of cerebellar hemorrhage as the initial manifestation of cerebellar glioblastoma in a child with review of literature.
