Abstract:
Forty-eight patients with intracranial hematomas are reviewed. In all cases diagnosis was established by CT scan. Volume was calculated with the Steiner method. Treatment was supportive for all patients. Mortality rate was 33%. Arterial hypertension was an associated factor in 58.33%. Clinical evolution was influenced by age of patient, volume and site of the hematoma. Mortality rate was highest in the cases with thalamic hematomas. Early coma or hemiplegia also carried a poor prognosis.

01:17Hemorrhagic Stroke l: Introduction
A hemorrhagic stroke is an acute neurological event that occurs when a weakened cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to accumulate within or around the brain. The sudden release of blood forms a focal hematoma that increases intracranial pressure, displaces neural tissue, and can obstruct cerebrospinal fluid pathways. These effects may be compounded by intraventricular extension of the hemorrhage, cerebral edema, or compression of adjacent structures, all of which contribute to...
01:29Hemorrhagic Stroke ll: Pathophysiology
A hemorrhagic stroke develops when a cerebral blood vessel ruptures, allowing blood to escape into the surrounding brain tissue, as in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), or into the subarachnoid space, as in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). Because the skull is a rigid compartment, the sudden presence of extravascular blood rapidly increases intracranial pressure and compresses adjacent neural structures, leading to immediate tissue injury and impaired cerebral perfusion.Mass Effect and Primary...
