description

Since McKissock et al. 1961 investigated the effects of surgical and conservative treatment of ICH on final outcome it is well known that systemic hypertension worsens the prognosis of this serious cerebrovascular disease. Our own studies on this problem have revealed differences in final outcome, as well as in level of consciousness after ICH, between normotensive and hypertensive patients. Whilst 30.6% of the normotensive patients died, 48.1% of the hypertensive patients had a lethal outcome.
