Abstract
The prognostic value of computed tomography (CT) information in 44 patients with hypertensive intracerebral hematomas is presented. Results from a review of 110 cases of intracerebral hematoma of all etiologies which occurred in 5500 consecutive CT scans are discussed. A grading system based on the size of intracerebral hematoma (ICH) and amount of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is presented. Data reveal that mortality of patients with hypertensive ganglionic hematomas increases directly as the grades of ICH and IVH increase. Mortality rate in the present series is compared to that in surgical and non-surgical series prior to CT. Statistics of this study reveal that the mortality rate varies with etiology and location of hemorrhage.
