Clinical Differences in lnfarctions of Superior Cerebellar Artery

Abstract

Scientific Background: The most frequent type of cerebellar infarcts involved the posterior inferior cerebellar artery and superior cerebellar artery territories. Presentation of patients with SCA infarction depend on localization of the occlusion, and accompanying arterial occlusions. Cases: We hereby presented two patients who had nausea, vomiting, dizziness and headache. Although similar infarction in SCA territories was seen on their cranial computed tomography in both patients, according to neurological findings one of them was severely sick and the other was slightly affected.
Conclusion: An infarction of SCA in patients with nonspecific complaints such as vertigo, nausea, vomit, and dizziness should not be overlooked because of possibility of brain stem compression and brain herniation.
