Résumé
Stroke is one of the foremost causes of high morbidity and mortality for many nations of the world, posing a major socioeconomic challenge in the occupational and neurorehabilitational programmes of stroke survivors although there has been a general decline in incidence of stroke including ICH due to improved detection and treatment of hypertension, the economic burden that stroke imposes has diverted attention to newer concepts in stroke pathophysiology and strategies for stroke prevention have assumed global importance. CT is the investigation of choice for intra cerebral heamorrhages. Even small volume of hemorrhage can be detected with CT, it shows the location of hemorrhage, IV extension, mass effect and brain herniation. The highest incidence of intracerebral heamorrhage incidence in the 6th and 7th decades. Focal neurological signs are the most common presenting complaints followed by loss of consciousness. Hypertension is the major risk factor for spontaneous intra cerebral haemorrhage CT allows a straight forward diagnosis of Intracerebral haemorrhage.
