Abstract

We retrospectively analyzed 29 patients with caudate hemorrhage, and evaluated the prognosis and the predictors of short-term and long-term outcomes. P With caudate hemorrhage showed better short-term outcome compared to those with intracerebral hemorrhages in general. However, the ciance re -ing was Rebleedmg, which had interval of less than 1 year in most cases, occurred mainly in patients with previous stroke. And this worsened the patients' outcome. Management of risk factors is critical. The prognostic factor influencing on the short-term outcome was the initial consciousness level and the long-term outcome could be anticipated through the evaluation of the neurologic status on the 30th day; subsequent improvement was expected in patients with mild abnormality, but not in those with moderate to severe disability.
