Case Report: Endoscopic evacuation of a large cerebellar hemorrhage in a term newborn—a modified approach using an agitation wire enhanced suction device
BackgroundCerebellar hemorrhage in term newborns is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition requiring prompt intervention. Traditional micro surgical approaches carry significant risks of surgical trauma and post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leakage.Case descriptionWe present a case of su...

| description | BackgroundCerebellar hemorrhage in term newborns is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition requiring prompt intervention. Traditional micro surgical approaches carry significant risks of surgical trauma and post-operative cerebrospinal fluid leakage.Case descriptionWe present a case of successful endoscopic evacuation of a large cerebellar hemorrhage using a novel suction device with an integrated agitation wire. Complete hematoma evacuation was achieved through a single burr hole approach.ConclusionAt 12-month follow-up, developmental assessment demonstrated excellent neurological outcome with no evidence of hydrocephalus, suggesting this minimally invasive technique as a viable alternative to traditional approaches. |
