ABSTRACT
Fifty eight patients with spontaneous lobar hemorrhage of a 264 patients series with intracerebral hemorrhage seen during a six years period are reviewed. Twenty nine had arterial hypertension, 9 had other etiologies, and in the remaining 20 cases no apparent etiology was detected. Headache was a prominent symptom and occurred in 56%. Seizures occurred in 12%. Coma was infrequent. Clinical findings on admission depended on the location of the hematoma. Lobar hemorrhage occurred most commonly in the parietal region. Mortality rate was 8.6%. Size of hematoma (larger than 4 cm) on CT and altered consciousness on admission correlated with poor outcome.
