Abstract:
A study on 70 adult patients with the cerebrovascular accident in Friendship Hospital during 1999-2001 has shown that most of patients were men with ages of 60 and over and history of hypertension. The general mortality rate was 24%. 95.7% of patients had blood clot, mainly in the central grey matter region, with size of 3 cm. Most of the secondary cerebral ventricular haemorrhages related with the conscious disorder. The severe conscious disorder lead to the high mortality rate. The cerebral haemorrhage occurred in many regions such as cerebellum, brain stem. The cerebral haemorrhage combining with encephalocele had a bad prognosis.
