[Spontaneus intracerebral haemhorrhage--review].
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage occurs when a blood vessel within the brain parenchyma ruptures without a near related trauma. It is the second most common form of stroke, accounting for approximately 10% to 15% of new strokes. The 30 day mortality is very high (25-50%). Hypertension is the most common cause. Unfortunately, surgery has not proven to be helpful except in certain exceptions such as in large cerebellar hemorrhage. Nonetheless, it is very important that patients with ICH are admitted to an intensive care or a stroke unit with close surveillance of consciousness, focal neurologic symptoms, blood pressure and fluid balance.
