Abstract

Twenty‐four Consecutive Cases of Putaminal Hemorrhage Diagnosed by the Technique of Computerized Axial Tomography Are Reported. the Anatomy of the Hemorrhages as Visualized by CT Scanning Showed Excellent Correlation with the Pathological Findings in 3 Autopsied Patients. the Size of the Hemorrhage, as Measured from the Scan, Was Correlated with the Occurrence and Severity of Several Features of the Clinical Examination and with the Clinical Outcome. the Relatively Low overall Mortality of 37% Reflected the Inclusion in This Series of Many Small, Nonfatal Hemorrhages that Would Likely Have Escaped Diagnosis Before Computerized Axial Tomography Became Available.
