[Intracerebral hematoma: clinical and prognostic correlations (author's transl)].
Forty-eight patients with intracranial hematomas are reviewed. In all cases diagnosis was established by CT scan. Volume was calculated with the Steiner method. Treatment was supportive for all patients. Mortality rate was 33%. Arterial hypertension was an associated factor in 58.33%. Clinical evolution was influenced by age of patient, volume and site of the hematoma. Mortality rate was highest in the cases with thalamic hematomas. Early coma or hemiplegia also carried a poor prognosis.
