AB  - Four patients with bleeding venous angiomas in the cerebellar hemispheres are reported. All of the hemorrhages were subacute; three were recurrent. A literature review substantiated venous angioma as a recognized source of spontaneous cerebellar hemorrhage. Cerebellar venous angiomas may be more prone to bleed than venous angiomas in other locations. Their natural history seems to be similar to that of arteriovenous malformations. Though a minority bleed, the hemorrhagic event can be acute or subacute, recurrent, or catastrophic. Thus the clinical course is not always innocuous.
