Abstract:
Computed tomographic findings were analyzed in 46 patients with hypertensive putaminal hemorrhage accompainied by hemiparesis. It has been important prognostic index whether to involve or not to involve posterior limb of internal capsule. To study the reason for this, the relationship between the extent of a hematoma and the level ar which the pyramidal tract was destroyed was investigated. From the consideration of the process of destruction of the pyramidal tract by a hematoma, it seemed that computed tomographic findings at the level of the body of the lateral ventricle rather than at the prognosis of hemiparesis.
