A-55-year-old woman developed disturbances of consciousness. An emergency CT scan revealed a cerebellar hemorrhage. Transthoracic echocardiology confirmed an ejection fraction of 40%, and left ventricular apical akinesia and basal hyperkinesis were seen. We performed hematoma evacuation on the 1st day. On the 14th day, echocardiography showed complete improvement of heart wall motion. This patient was diagnosed with takotsubo cardiomyopathy based on clinical course and transthoracic echocardiology. A total of 12 patients have been found in whom intra cerebral hemorrhage triggered takotsubo cardiomyopathy. This is the 6th case of cerebellar hemorrhage with takotsubo cardiomyopathy.
