Abstract:
The efficiency of two types of steroid treatment was assessed in primary intracerebral haemorrhages. No significant difference in clinical evolution was observed between 57 cases treated with dexamethasone, 28 cases with methylprednisolone and 44 cases without corticosteroids. In a subgroup of 46 patients with putamino-capsular bleedings the non-steroid-treated group did significantly better than the steroid-treated one. Adverse reactions occurred at the same rate in the three groups.
