Summary A cerebellar hematoma verified at operation and autopsy had low absorption values on computed tomography (CT). We postulate that because of the patient's severe anemia, a low hemoglobin concentration in the hematoma itself resulted in its decreased absorption density. Reduction in hemoglobin or hematocrit of circulating blood may alter the usually diagnostic CT finding of high absorption values with intracerebral and cerebellar hemorrhage.
