Hypertension Was Present in 67% of the Cases, Head Trauma Was an Uncommon Preceding Event, and Simultaneous Bleeding in Other Organs Occurred in Only One Instance. Neurologic Abnormalities Progressed for Several Hours in 58%. Seizures Occurred at Onset in 12.5%. the Location of the Hemorrhage Was as Follows: Cerebellum (Nine Cases), Lobar White Matter (Six), Basal Ganglia (Five), Thalamus (Two), and Hemisphere, Unspecified (Two). in 61%, the Hemorrhages Occurred within 6 Months of Therapy. in 75%, the Prothrombin Time Was Beyond 1½ Times the Control Value. Mortality Was 62.5%. Survivors Had Smaller Hematomas Than Did Patients with Fatal Hemorrhage. © 1985 American Academy of Neurology.
