Abstract
Two men aged 27 and 39 years old, respectively, presented with sudden onset of vertigo, nausea and vomiting. CT and MRI demonstrated cerebellar hemorrhage. Cavernous angioma was suspected in each case. Conservative management was selected, because their symptoms disappeared quickly. However, rebleeding was observed two months later in Case 1 and eight days later in Case 2, respectively. Total removal of angioma was performed following suboccipital craniotomy and cavernous angioma was diagnosed from pathological findings in each case. Both patients recovered without neurological deficits. Surgical treatment is considered to be a safe and effective option for cerebellar cavernous angioma compared to those located in the brainstem or cranial nerves.
