Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Geriatric Patients / 대한뇌혈관학회지

ABSTRACT

There are so many differences between the elderly patients and the younger patients in the aspects of a causes and the clinical course of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrage (ICH). As the mean life-time of a general population goes longer, the incidence of spontaneous ICH increases but the aggressive support in ICH is withdrawn more commonly and a prognosis of ICH becomes poor. Therefore, a prevention of ICH and a strict control of hypertension is very very important.
