Abstract

Since February 1978 until August 1982, we have made a diagnosis of 92 cases of spontaneous intracerebral hematomas by CT scan. These cases revealed the following results : 1) Hypertension was the most common cause of spontaneous intracerebral hematomas(63.0%), and followed by arteriovenous malformation(18.5%), aneurysm(9.8%), tumor bleeding(5.4%), blood dyscrasias(2.2%), and cerebral rete mirabile(1.1%). 2) Putaminal hemorrhages were found in 48.3%, subcortical hemorrhages in 29.3%, intracerebellar hemorrhages in 12.1%, thalamic hemorrhages in 10.3%. 3) The operative mortality in 56 cases was 36.8% and other case's mortality was 50%.
