title: Spontaneous intracerebral haematomas. Aspects of treatment.
abstract: We report on 306 cases of spontaneous intracerebral haematomas located in the supratentorial compartment. 167 patients underwent surgical treatment and 87 died (52.09%); 139 patients were conservatively managed and 30 died (21.5%). We point out some indications and contra-indications to surgical or conservative treatment on the basis of the factors influencing the mortality rate.
