title: [Thalamic hematoma: review of semiology and computed x-ray tomography in 14 cases].
abstract: Thalamic hematomas occur chiefly in hypertensive patients aged 50 to 70; characteristic presentation is a triad associating a sensory syndrome, oculomotor disorders, and alterations in consciousness; computed tomography not only establishes diagnosis but provides additional information, particularly on the size and volume effect of the hematoma which may, according to some authors, indicate surgical removal.
