ABSTRACT
The paper is based on the analysis of 235 young and middle-aged patients with nontraumatic hemorrhage, with hypertensive disease and atherosclerosis of cerebral vessels having been by far the commonest cause of the trouble (82.9%). In all observations, diagnoses were verified with computerized tomography, magnetic resonance tomography and angiography and during surgery and in autopsy as well. Basically, in the clinical course of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhages, there have been identified three syndromes that reflect to a considerable extent the time-related course of dislocation-type changes. Depending on the site of hemorrhage and in accordance with the WHO classification, a comparative description is given for groups of patients presented with blood in the basal ganglia and of those with caudad-capsular, striocapsular hemorrhage, medial, mixed, and intralobar ones, with certain prognostic criteria established.
