Abstract

The traumatically induced mass lesions of the posterior cranial fossa are unusual. Various types of traumatic posterior fossa hematoma have been described ; the most common forms is epidural hematomas, and frequently traumatic intracerebellar hemorrhage is encountered. A sixty-six-old male patient was initially presented with the occipital skull fracture and contusional hemorrhage on the both frontal lobe, a developed delayed cerebellar hemorrhage. The patient was operated for hematoma removal with good postoperative recovery. We advise a consideration for delayed intracerebellar hematoma in patients with cerebellar contusion following trauma.
