Microsurgical treatment of brainstem CMs in infants is not only possible with minimal deficit, but also advisable if the lesions are symptomatic. Nevertheless, this requires substantial patience and experience to prevent significant loss of blood and injury to the structures of the posterior fossa. We argue that the safest method to prevent further damage from brainstem CM rebleed is to remove these lesions shortly after the initial hemorrhage.
