Objective: debated. The present study was designed to analyze the clinical outcome of patients operated in our department for spontaneous cerebellar hematoma evacuation.
Method: The medical data of all the patients in whom spontaneous cerebellar hematoma had been surgically evacuated were retrospectively analyzed. The parameters of age, preoperative Glasgow coma scales (GCS), and the volume of the hematoma was studied and their relationship with clinical outcome based on the Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) was analyzed
Results: The study included twenty-four patients. Fourteen (58.3%) patients survived and ten (41.7%) patients expired. The mean age of the surviving patients was 57 years and the mean age of the expired patients was 57.2 years. The difference wasn’t statistically significant (p = 0.9612). The mean hematoma volume in the surviving patients was 23 cm3 and in the expired patients was 26.2 cm3. The difference didn’t reach statistical significance (p = 0.1614). The mean preoperative GCS of the surviving patients was 12.4 and of the expired patients were 8.3. This difference was statistically significant (p = 0.004). All the surviving patients had a favorable outcome based on the GOS score
Conclusion: Surgical evacuation of cerebellar hematomas leads to a good clinical outcome. Preoperative GCS is significantly associated with the clinical outcome. The age of the patient and the volume of the hematoma were not found to be significantly associated with the clinical outcome
