Remote Cerebellar Haemorrhage: A Potential Iatrogenic Complication of Spinal Surgery

Figure 3

MRI brain was performed on the same date of the CT head. It confirmed cerebellar haemorrhage and mass effect on the 4th ventricle and brainstem. (a) Axial T1 SPGR postgadolinium MR image shows diffuse dural enhancement. (b) Sagittal T1 MR image of the brain shows “sagging” midbrain, flattening of the pons against the clivus, and mild cerebellar tonsillar descent. The findings in (a) and (b) are consistent with intracranial hypotension.
