BACKGROUND: Cerebellar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with poor functional prognosis and high mortality. Surgical evacuation has been proposed to improve outcome. The purpose of this review was to determine the benefit of surgical evacuation of cerebellar ICH and to establish guidelines for when it should be performed.

METHOD: The writing committee comprised 9 members of the SFNV and the SFNC. Recommendations were established based on a literature review using the PICO questions. The American Heart Association (AHA) classification was used to define recommendation level. In case of insufficient evidence, expert opinions were provided.

RESULTS: Levels of evidence were low to moderate, precluding definitive recommendations. Based on available data, surgical hematoma evacuation is not recommended to improve functional outcome (Class III; Level B NR). However, based on subgroup analysis, surgical evacuation may be considered in strictly selected patients (Class IIb; Level C-EO): hematoma volume 15-25 cm3, GCS 6-10, and no oral anticoagulation or antiplatelet therapy. Moreover, surgical evacuation is recommended to decrease risk of death (Class IIa; Level B NR) in patients with a hematoma volume >15 cm3 and GCS score <10.

CONCLUSION: These guidelines were based on observational studies, limiting the level of evidence. However, except for strictly selected patients, surgical evacuation of cerebellar ICH was not associated with improved functional outcome, limiting indications. Data from RCTs are needed in this field.
