Abstract

Spontaneous, nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for approximately 10–25% of annual stroke cases and often portends poor neurological outcomes. Despite advances in education and medical care, the overall incidence has remained essentially unchanged over many years, and patients are often left with long-term functional deficits. Overall morbidity and mortality further increase when associated with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). Overall ICH case fatality rates have remained constant over the past few decades, although in-hospital rates have substantially decreased, likely due to improvements in neurocritical care. Herein, we discuss the epidemiology, classification, differential diagnoses, and management options for ICH.
