Childs Brain. 1984;11(2):135-40. doi: 10.1159/000120169.

Abstract

Cerebellar hemorrhage is rare in childhood, and is usually the result of trauma or a ruptured arteriovenous malformation. We report acute subarachnoid hemorrhage as the presenting manifestation of medulloblastoma and review the atypical presentation and causes of cerebellar hemorrhage in infants and children.
