Systemic hypertension is not only the most frequent cause of intracerebral hemorrhage but also the most important complication of this disease. In our clinical investigation of 117 cases almost 70% of the patients suffered from systemic hypertension. Despite advances in diagnosis (Schiirmann, Dei Anang, 1980) mortality of hypertensive patients was 48%. Normotensive hemorrhages showed a better prognosis: only 31% of the patients died and 33% (17% in hypertensive patients) obtained good neurological recovery (Wallenfang et al., 1985).
