Subcortical lobar hematomas: clinico-computed tomographic correlations.
Eighteen patients with subcortical lobar hematomas were reviewed. Arterial hypertension was the leading cause and three had arteriovenous malformation and were treated surgically. More than half of cases had hematomas of either the temporooccipital or occipital lobes. Common neurologic findings were headaches, vomiting, alertness, dysarthria, hemiparesis and hemianopsia. All patients survived and had better resolution of neurological deficits, suggesting that surgical intervention is not necessary.
