Dural arteriovenous fistula is an acquired vascular anomaly that can cause various symptoms. Here, we report a rare case of Borden type I sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula presenting as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Bleeding occurred from a side-wall aneurysm in the lateral pontomedullary segment of the anterior inferior cerebellar artery, which was a minor pial feeder. Features on imaging modalities, including brain CT, CT angiography, MR imaging/angiography and digital subtraction angiography, are described with a literature review.

Cavernous hemangioma can occur in the entire brain but rarely in cerebellum, especially in the pediatric age group. Headache, seizure, gait disturbance, recurrent bleeding may be seen. This tumor is a relatively benign condition but if the lesion located in the posterior fossa or the brain stem bleeds, irreversible brain damage may occur because of its restrictive space. Moreover, it must be differentiated from malignant tumors. We report 12.6 year-old boy who represented posterior neck myalgia as the presenting symptom. The pain continued for about a month despite analgesic medications. Brain MRI showed intracranial hemorrhage in the left cerebellum (4.5 cm) representing repeated hemorrhages at different times and originated from the cavernous hemangioma accompanied by mild hydrocephalus. The lesion was surgically removed successfully and the cavernous hemangioma was confirmed by pathologic findings. After the follow-up period of 14 months, he is in good condition without any complications.

Purpose : To evaluate usefulness of MR imaging after serial brain US in the high-risk neonates before discharge of the neonatal intensive care unit. Materials and Methods : Retrospective comparison of 412 US and 121 MR scans in 121 neonates and young infants were performed. Grading of germinal matrix/intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH/IVH) was performed and presence of intracranial hemorrhage other than GMH/IVH and parencyma lesions was also analyzed. Results : Among the 242 lateral ventricles, Seven GMH and 46 IVH were additionally detected by MRI. On the other hand, 30 GMH were only detected by US. US demonstrated Grade 1/2/3/4 GMH/IVH in 24/8/13/0 ventricles each, while each grades were identified in 3, 49, 10, 2 ventricles on MR images. Other intracranial lesions additionally detected on MR images were cerebral hemorrhage (n=4), cerebellar hemorrhage (n=4), extraaxial hemorrhage (n=8), diffuse excessive signal change of the white matter (n=72), non-cavitary lesion (n=4), encephalomalacia (n=2), and ventriculomegaly (n=5). Conclusion : MR imaging could be an excellent complimentary study after serial brain US for additional detection of the intracranial pathology, particularly IVH and white matter lesions, though US would be better in follow-up of GMH in some neonates.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the phenomenon of diaschisis in the cerebellum and cerebral cortex in patients with pure basal ganglia hemorrhage using cerebral blood flow SPECT. Materials and Methods: Twelve patients with pure basal ganglia hemorrhage were studied with Tc-99m ECD brain SPECT. Asymmetric index (AI) was calculated in the cerebellum and cerebral cortical regions as |$C_R-C_L$/$(C_R-C_L){\times}200$, where $C_R$and $C_L$ are the mean reconstructed counts for the right and left ROIs, respectively. Hypoperfusion was considered to be present when AI was greater than mean +2 SD of 20 control subjects. Results: Mean AI of the cerebellum and cerebral cortical regions in patients with pure basal ganglia hemorrhage was significantly higher than normal controls (p<0.05): Cerebellum ($18.68{\pm}8.94$ vs $4.35{\pm}0.94$, $mean{\pm}SD$), thalamus ($31.91{\pm}10.61$ vs $2.57{\pm}1.45$), basal ganglia ($35.94{\pm}16.15$ vs $4.34{\pm}2.08$), parietal ($18.94{\pm}10.69$ vs $3.24{\pm}0.87$), frontal ($13.60{\pm}10.5$ vs $4.02{\pm}2.04$) and temporal cortex ($15.92{\pm}11.95$ vs $5.13{\pm}1.69$). Ten of the 12 patients had significant hypoperfusion in the contralateral cerebellum. Hypoperfusion was also shown in the ipsilateral thalamus (n=12), ipsilateral parietal (n=12), frontal (n=6) and temporal cortex (n=10). Conclusion: Crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) and cortical diaschisis may frequently occur in patients with pure basal ganglia hemorrhage, suggesting that CCD can develop without the interruption of corticopontocerebellar pathway.

Recently many authors have reported about the relationship of the volumes of hemorrhage in the brain parenchyme, hemorrhagic sites, optimal operation time, and the effects of mannitol and steroid on control of ICP to clinical manifestations. Many attempts to measue ICP in hydrocephalus, brain tumor, and head injury have been reported. But the measurements of intracranial pressure in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage are rare. Intracranial pressure was monitored prospectively in 30 patients who had stereotaxic surgery for spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. The results are as follows. 1. Intracranial pressure was increased in high $PaCO_2$. 2. There were no correlation in ICP, rebleeding and ADL at discharge(P > 0.05). 3. ICP was the most high level in 72 hours after operation. 4. There was 63.2% decrease in ICP after litigation with 6000 IU urokinase in the site of hemorrhage. 5. There was no correlation between the numbers of natural drainage and ADL at discharge(P > 0.05). 6. The higher the initial GCS, the higher the Postoperative GCS.

Artifacts can seriously degrade the quality of computed tomography (CT) images, sometimes to the point of making them diagnostically unusable. Here, we report an unusual CT artifact that could have resulted in the misdiagnosis of a hyperdense hemorrhagic lesion in a 55-year-old man. The author recommend that when hemorrhagic lesion in posterior fossa is suggested on CT, the physician should carefully consider all patient-related clinical data prior to considering surgical intervention or a biopsy. Cranial magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can help in preventing the misdiagnosis as hemorrhage of CT scan.

I experienced a case of a patient with clinical features of cerebellar dysfunction in the intracranial hemorrhage which encroached the basis of lower pontine and all parts of pontine tegmentum. So I report this case with bibliographical inquiry. In addition, I applied the treatment of Oriental medicine to sequelae of intracranial hemorrhage like disorders of eye movement, central dizziness, cerebellar tremor and ataxias but the effect did not meet my expectation. I anticipate more clinical studies and reports on this hereafter.

Purpose : The purpose of this study was to describe the Intervention strategy applied ICF Tool about patient with cerebellar hemorrhage. Methods : The data was collected by patient with cerebellar hemorrhage. We applied the ICF Tool for patient with cerebellar hemorrhage. Parameters of result were collected for using the Timed up and go test, Berg balance scale and ICF assessment sheet. Results : Significant differences were observed the patient for Timed up and go test, Berg balance scale and ICF assessment sheet. patient with cerebellar hemorrhage improved all test. Conclusion : ICF Tool applied Intervention about patient with cerebellar hemorrhage is very useful and effective. It is effective in clinical practice.
