Brief Answer:
Blood pressure should be controlled, surgery to consider.
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.
I have read your question and understand your concerns.
Cerebellar stroke is a serious condition that may result in fatal outcomes so, hospital treatment and close observation is mandatory.
In such cases, blood pressure should be maintained within normal or slightly elevated limits.
If the stroke was hemorrhagic and a cerebellar hematoma is present, surgical evacuation of hematoma should be considered.
If massive ischemic stroke was present and there is evidence of hydrocephalus due to fourth ventricle obliteration, shunting of cerebrospinal fluid may be necessary.
Hope you found the answer helpful.
Kind Regards.
