Abstract

Background: PRIMARY INTRACEREBRAL HEMORRHAGE (ICH) due to HYPERTENSION is the gravest form of cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and degenerative changes of the arterial wall is the main cause of it. The goal of this study was to gather data about ICH in order to implement better diagnostic and management approach. Patients and Methods: Three hundred and thirty three patients with primary ICH were evaluated clinically and by brain CT-scan over a 2 year period (2001-2003). Results: Fifty four percent of the patients were male and 46 percent were female. Sixty percent of the ICHs occurred in the sixth and seventh decades. In 68 percent of the males, bleeding occurred in the left side of the brain while this figure was 50 percent in females. In the early phase of ICH, 20 percent of the patients had a normal blood pressure. In 67 percent of the cases, ICH occurred during the first 5 years after developing HYPERTENSION. Other risk factors included: cigarette smoking, hyperlipidemia and diabetes mellitus. In 24 percent of the cases, a history of previous myocardial infarction or CVA was present. The sites of ICH were: putamen and internal capsule (47 percent), thalamus, cerebral lobes, cerebellum and pons. The size of hematoma in the CT-scan was moderate in 45 percent of the cases. Twenty-eight percent of the patients died and the most important factors which were involved included: site of ICH, level of consciousness, hydrocephalus, fever, gastrointestinal bleeding and age. Conclusion: HYPERTENSION is the most important factor for ICH and careful management of it especially in the early years of onset and in the sixth and seventh decades is very important. Detection of other risk factors especially smoking and careful care of hyperthensive patients who had a previous episode of myocardial infarction or CVA are very effective in the prevention of ICH. Urgent evaluation and treatment of patients with ICH especially in those with a decreased level of consciousness, fever, gastrointestinal bleeding or hydrocephalus can be important in decreasing the rate of mortality.
