Haematomas in the cerebellum are usually caused by hypertension. Traumatic cerebellar haematomas, although rare, are important cause of morbidity and mortality. This can be prevented by timely intervention to evacuate the haematoma. However, recently the protocol is gradually changing from only surgery approach to either surgery or conservative method. We discuss and review the literature for the incidence, mechanism of injury, clinical features, investigations, treatment and outcome for the traumatic cerebellar haematoma in detail.
