Bilateral Late Remote Cerebellar Hemorrhage as a Complication of a Lumbo-Peritoneal Shunt Applied After Spinal Arteriovenous Malformation Surgery

Abstract

Background/Objective: Cerebellar hemorrhage is a very infrequent and unpredictable complication of spinal surgery. To the best of our knowledge, cerebellar hemorrhage resulting from the insertion of a lumbo-peritoneal shunt through which cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is slowly drained has not been documented to date.
