Case Description: In case one, a 57-year-old patient demonstrated hemorrhage in the cerebellar sulci in favor of RCH 2 days after craniotomy for sphenoidal wing meningioma resection. He was asymptomatic and showed good prognosis after conservative treatment. However, in the second case, a 21-year-old man presented with symptomatic RCH just after the surgery for resection of huge intraaxial parietooccipital lesion. He had a poor prognosis despite the treatment and died ultimately. Conclusion: Although some studies reported the good prognosis for this type of hemorrhage, it can cause neurological and clinical deterioration and result to patient death.","thumbnailUrl":"https://sni-digital-videos.s3.amazonaws.com/articles/1a942902-f762-4784-826f-0bcbc943c780/featured/hero-1782420840244.png","publishDate":"2017-04-26T00:00:00.000Z","doi":"10.4103/sni.sni_20_17","categories":["Unique Case Observations","Case Report"],"fullTextUrl":"https://surgicalneurologyint.com/api/articles/1a942902-f762-4784-826f-0bcbc943c780/pdf"}
