Summary
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is spontaneous bleeding within the brain parenchyma. ICH only represents about 20% of all strokes but is disproportionately morbid. Most ICH patients present with an acute neurologic deficit that can be differentiated from ischemic stroke with a computed tomography scan. Rapid clinical assessment, blood pressure control, and reversal of coagulopathy are the hallmarks of acute ICH management. It is important to monitor for and treat complications such as intraventricular hemorrhage, cerebral edema, and seizures. Outcomes can be communicated by functional assessments but it is optimal to include quality of life information that matter to patients and caregivers.
