ABSTRACT
Four hundred and fifty patients of cerebrovascular accident who underwent computerized tomographic scanning during the 45 months, from January 1978 to October 1981, at department of internal medicine, Kyung Hee University Hospital, were studied and following results were obtained. 1. In Korea, intracerebral hematoma(48.2%) is more common than cerebral infarction(27.6%). 2. 87.3% of intracerebral hemorrhage were comfirmed while 61.5% of cerebral infarction were identified by brain CT. 3. Cerebrovascular accidents are definitely developing in 6th decade(40.6%) and male is more often affected. 4. hypertension is the most common underlying disease(72.3%) of cerebral hemorrhage, 52.4% of cerebral infarction. 5. hematoma occurs most frequently in basal ganglia(40.6%) and cerebral infarction occurs most frequently in global area(48.4%). 6. Changes of consciousness level were observed in 54.2% of the cases of mild degree hematoma. Mortality was 6.2% in mild degree hematoma and 88.2% in severe degree hematoma. 7. In 26.2% of cerebral hematoma, inital CSF findings were normal in spite of the evidence of cerebral hematoma confirmed by CT scanning.
