In the posterior fossa, a small amount of mass effect can have dramatic effects, due to its small volume. This can be due to immediate transmission of pressure to the brainstem, or via occlusion of the aqueduct of Sylvius or compression of the fourth ventricle, leading to acute obstructive hydrocephalus, with the risk of tonsillar herniation. Timely investigations and management are essential to maximise good outcomes. This Element offers a brief overview of posterior fossa haemorrhage. It looks at the anatomy, aetiology, management, and surgical options, with a review of the available evidence to guide practice.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eAnatomy\u003cbr\u003e Aetiology\u003cbr\u003e Signs and symptoms\u003cbr\u003e Management\u003cbr\u003e Indications for surgery\u003cbr\u003e Surgery\u003cbr\u003e The evidence\u003cbr\u003e Typical clinical scenarios\u003cbr\u003e Important points\u003cbr\u003e Conclusion.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Accident \u0026amp; emergency medicine\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Accident%20\u0026amp;%20emergency%20medicine%20%5BMMK%5D%22\"\u003eMMK\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52414032609560,"sku":"9781009456500","price":17.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781009456500i.jpg?v=1784336198","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/acute-spontaneous-posterior-fossa-haemorrhage-paperback-softback-9781009456500","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
