Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhaging is a collection of blood located in the brain tissue, caused by the nontraumatic rupture of a blood vessel (almost always arterial). This condition represents 10–15% of all acute cerebrovascular disorders and entails an acute high mortality and causes considerable morbidity in survivors. The main risk factor is arterial hypertension but there are numerous other potential causes. The clinical presentation depends on the location and volume of the hemorrhage. The diagnosis is based on the medical history, a neurological examination and the implementation of urgent neuroimaging tests. At present, there is no specific medical treatment, and therefore general support measures are employed. The role of surgical treatment in this disease is not well-defined.
