In the last five years, we have experienced 340 cases of cerebral infarction, in which five cases had a recurrence of hemorrhage.
The initial infarction was recognized on the basal ganglia in three cases. It was found on the basal ganglia, the territory of the post cerebral artery, and in cerebellar hemisphere in one case each.
Four of these cases had hypertension with three cases having diabetes.
The interesting point of this study was the site of recurrent hemorrhage in these cases.
Three out of the five cases developed the hemorrhage in the cerebellar hemisphere.
Four cases developed recurrent lesions on the contralateral side from the initial infarction.
It is a well known fact that supratentorial infarction induces hypometabolism in the contralateral cerebellum. as a crossed cerebellar diaschisis.
Hypothetically, cerebellar hemorrhage secondary to contralateral supratentorial infarction might be considered a result of “crossed cerebellar diaschisis”.
