Cerebellar strokes account for only 2-3% of the 600,000 strokes that occur each year in the United States. [3] They are far less common than strokes which occur in the cerebral hemispheres .

This leads to poor oxygen supply or cerebral hypoxia and thus leads to the death of brain tissue or cerebral infarction/ischemic stroke. [2] It is a sub-type of stroke along with subarachnoid hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. [3] Ischemia leads to alterations in brain metabolism, reduction in metabolic rates, and energy crisis.
