Tongsaa,
clinically- putaminal hemorrhage shows profound weakness, sensory loss, eye deviation, hemianopsia, aphasia,and depressed level of consciousness but the Cerebellar hemmo. typically presents with abrupt onset of vertigo, headache, vomiting,and inability to walk without hemiparesis.

I hope this helps !!!
