Abstract:
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. The disease primarily affects men between the age of 45 to 75 years. Arterial hypertension is the most frequent etiologic factor. Here is presented a case-record of 148 intracerebral hemorrhages observed during a five years period. Several clinical and radiological features have been correlated and analyzed from a statistical point of view. The most important prognostic factor is the state of consciousness. Either deep coma and a normal state of consciousness do not represent surgical indications.
