Neuroimaging in Deteriorating Patients with Cerebellar Infarcts and Mass Effect
Stroke 31:2062-2067, Koh,M.G. et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Hydrocephalus, brain stem deformity, and basal cistern compression may herald deterioration in CIMASS. Admission to a neurological-neurosurgical intensive care unit and consideration of preemptive surgery are warranted in these patients. Vertical displacement of tonsils or aqueduct, demonstrated by MR imaging, did not predict deterioration.
