Cerebrovascular Disease, Increasing Incidence of Primary Intracerebral Haemorrhage - A Preliminary Report of 100 Cases.
Pak J Neurol Jan ;5(2):45-9.

A prospective study was carried out on 100 patients presenting as a first ever stroke. The cases entered into the study underwent a CT brain scan to classify their disease into cerebral infarction, primary intracerebral hemorrhage or subarachnoid hemorrhage. In our study we found cerebral infarction occurred in 66% of cases, primary intracerebral hemorrhage in 28%, subarachnoid hemorrhage 3% and normal CT scan in 3%. The alarmingly high incidence of primary intracerebral hemorrhage prompted us to bring out a preliminary report. The most common predisposing factor in both cerebral infarction and hemorrhage was hypertension. Primary cerebral hemorrhage occurred more frequently in males and had a poor prognosis.
