Etiology of Primary Cerebellar Intracerebral Hemorrhage Based on Topographic Localization

Abstract

Cerebellar intracerebral hemorrhage (cICH) is often attributed to hypertension or cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). However, deciphering the exact etiology can be challenging. A recent study reported a topographical etiologic relationship with superficial cICH secondary to CAA. We aimed to reexamine this relationship between topography and etiology in a separate cohort of patients and using the most recent Boston criteria version 2.0.
