Clinical features of secondary cerebroventricular hemorrhage

ABSTRACT

This study carried out on 72 patients with secondary cerebroventricular hemorrhage and 115 patients with cerebral hemorrhage, without cerebroventricular apoplexy. The results showed that the cerebral hemorrhage in any area could lead to secondary cerebroventricular apoplexy. 65% of cases with thalamic hemorrhage had cerebroventricular apoplexy. The dimension of blood clot in the secondary cerebroventricular hemorrhage was larger than this in the cerebro parenchyma hemorrhage without apoplexy. The clinical characteristics included sudden crisis, conscious disorder, and cerebral stimulation. The mortality rate was 25%.
