A cerebellar stroke occurs when blood flow to your cerebellum is interrupted. Learn the warning signs and treatment options for this rare brain condition.
A cerebellar stroke occurs when there is bleeding or blockage of a blood vessel in part of the brain called the cerebellum, affecting healthy blood flow to the area. This is one of the least common types of stroke, accounting for less than 2% percent of all cases.
A cerebellar stroke occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain called the cerebellum is interrupted. It is rare and may have life threatening consequences without treatment. Learn...
Cerebellar infarcts are acute ischemic stroke subtypes caused by the occlusion of 1 of the 3 main cerebellar branches of the vertebrobasilar arterial system or the posterior circulation, namely, the superior (SCA), anterior inferior (AICA), and posterior inferior (PICA) cerebellar arteries.
While cerebellar stroke makes up a small percentage of yearly strokes, it is associated with a high mortality rate. This is because of the cerebellum’s location and its functions. It is important to familiarize yourself with the hallmark symptoms of a stroke to help protect yourself or a loved one.
Cerebellar stroke syndrome is a condition in which the circulation to the cerebellum is impaired due to a lesion of the superior cerebellar artery, anterior inferior cerebellar artery or the posterior inferior cerebellar artery.
Patients with cerebellar stroke may present with generalized symptoms. A high index of suspicion must be maintained in patients with significant risk factors. CT has low sensitivity for infarctions of the posterior fossa.
Issues of Concern. Lesions of the cerebellum produce neurological signs that are easy to recognize and have been shown to have excellent inter-rater reliability. [1] . These signs evolve secondary to lesions in the vestibulocerebellar, vestibulospinal, and cerebellar ocular motor tracts.
Cerebellar infarction is a relatively uncommon subtype of ischemic stroke. It may involve any of the three arteries supplying the cerebellum: superior cerebellar artery (SCA): superior cerebellar arterial infarct. anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA): anterior inferior cerebellar arterial infarct.
Cerebellar infarction is an important cause of stroke that often presents with common and non-specific symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and vomiting, unsteady gait, and headache.
