Pontine hemorrhage
Pontine hemorrhages are a common form of intracerebral hemorrhage, and usually are a result of poorly controlled long-standing hypertension, although also have other causes. When due to chronic hypertension, the stigmata of chronic hypertensive encephalopathy are often present (see cerebral micr...

Cerebellar infarction
Cerebellar infarction is a relatively uncommon subtype of ischemic stroke. It may involve any of the three arteries supplying the cerebellum:
superior cerebellar artery (SCA): superior cerebellar arterial infarct
anterior inferior cerebellar artery (AICA): anterior inferior cerebellar ar...
Article
Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) infarct
Posterior inferior cerebellar artery (PICA) occlusion may cause infarction of any part of the vascular territory of the PICA, namely the posterior inferior cerebellum, inferior cerebellar vermis, and lateral medulla.
Epidemiology
Typically considered the most common territory involved in cereb...
