title: [CT differential diagnosis and findings in intracerebral haemorrhage (author's transl)].
abstract: The CT findings of 73 patients with spontaneous and traumatic intracerebral haematomas are described. The course and pattern of resorption of the bleeding is evaluated. It is shown that the resorption of all haematomas is terminated by the end of week 7 independent of their maximum diameter. Only smaller haemorrhage of less than 2 cm can be resorbed in a shorter time. Moreover, the underlying pathophysiologic mechanisms of faster resorption of bleeding located in the basal ganglia and the neighbouring white matter are discussed. The CT findings revealed no clear-cut characteristics for differential diagnosis of the etiology of haematomas, but proved very helpful in defining the prognosis.
