title: [Clinical aspects and diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhage].
abstract: Primary intracerebral hemorrhages are often dramatic and lethal. Therapeutic possibilities are limited. Multivariate studies show that patient age, hematoma volume, ventricular extension of the hemorrhage, and level of consciousness are the decisive prognostic parameters. This overview shows that the etiological spectrum is larger than suggested by the classic paradigm of "either hypertensive or cryptic angioma". The variability of clinical presentation can be put into a systematic order by means of clinical neurological examination and imaging techniques. Experiences with 62 consecutive cases from the Klosterneuburg Stroke Data-Bank are reported.
