    Spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage (sCH) accounts for approximately 10% of intraparenchymal brain bleedings and poses significant risks due to brainstem compression.

  • 2

    Surgical evacuation and external ventricular drainage (EVD) are common practices for managing large sCH, leading to favorable functional outcomes.

  • 3

    Expectant management may be sufficient for moderately large sCH in awake patients without hydrocephalus, as many recover well without surgery.

  • 4

    The optimal surgical strategy for sCH remains poorly defined, with various approaches including bone decompression and clot evacuation being utilized.

  • 5

    The study aimed to analyze clinical outcomes and predictors in sCH patients, focusing on management decisions, especially in elderly patients on antithrombotic therapy.
