Abstract

CT was a reliable technique to evaluate the exact size and location of spontaneous itracranial hemorrhage andto predict it's prognosis. Fifty-nine cases of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage were evvaluated and reviewed by CT scan. The following results were obtained. 1. The sex ratio of male to female was1 to 1.4. The highestincidence was in 6th and 7th decades. 2. The most common cause of spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage washypertension(74.6%), followed by the aneurysm(13.5%), arteriovenous malformation(5.1%), occlusive vasculardisease(3.4%), and blood dyscrasia(3.4%). 3. The most common location was basal ganglia and thalamichemorrhage(37.3%), followed by lobar hemorrhage(27.1%), cerebellar hemorrhage(13.5%), and subarachnoidhemorrhage(11.9%). 4. Primary intraventricular hemorrhage carried the highest mortality. 5. The larger volume ofhematoma, the higher the mortality rate.
