Cerebellar Intracerebral Hemorrhage with Intraventricular Extension: A Case Report in a 62-Year-Old Male with Uncontrolled Hypertension

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a subtype of stroke with high morbidity and mortality, where cerebellar location with intraventricular extension (IVH) is a serious condition. Uncontrolled hypertension is a major risk factor that plays a role in the occurrence of ICH. This study is a case report of a 62-year-old man with a history of uncontrolled hypertension who presented with decreased consciousness accompanied by nausea and vomiting. CT scan examination showed left cerebellar hemorrhage measuring ±18.11 cc with extension to the entire ventricular system. The patient was managed conservatively with blood pressure control, intracranial pressure reduction, and supportive therapy. During treatment, the patient experienced improved consciousness, blood pressure stabilization, and neurological function without progressive complications. This case demonstrates that appropriate and comprehensive conservative management can provide good clinical outcomes in patients with cerebellar ICH with IVH extension. This case report emphasizes the importance of early detection, appropriate intervention, and control of risk factors, especially hypertension.
