Hypothesis

What are the characteristics and outcomes of recurrent hypertensive intra-cerebral hemorrhages?

Conclusion

This case report highlights the rarity of bilateral, sequential deep cerebellar hemorrhages and the patient's good functional recovery despite the severity of the condition.

Supporting Evidence

  • The patient experienced two sequential deep cerebellar hemorrhages.
  • The second hemorrhage occurred 57 days after the first.
  • Despite the severity, the patient achieved a good functional recovery.

Takeaway

A woman had two brain bleeds in her cerebellum, but she got better even though it was unusual for this to happen.

Methodology

The case was managed with medical treatment and follow-up assessments including CT scans and MRA.

Potential Biases

Potential bias due to the lack of conventional cerebral angiography and reliance on imaging techniques.

Limitations

The study is based on a single case report, limiting generalizability.

Participant Demographics

59-year-old hypertensive Caucasian woman.
