AGUILERA PACHECO, Osvaldo R  and  GONZALEZ VIDAL, Dámaris. Prognosis factors in the cerebral intraparenchymal hemorrhage. MEDISAN [online]. 2012, vol.16, n.1, pp. 21-28. ISSN 1029-3019.

A descriptive and prospective study of 116 patients with cerebral intraparenchymal hemorrhage, shown through the computerized axial tomography (CAT) was carried out, aimed at specifying the predetermined prognosis factors and their influence on the mortality in the case material. Among the main results there were: the prevalence of the 41-50 and 51-60 year groups (57,7 % between both), hypertension as personal pathological history (79,3%), as well as the occurrence of hemorrhages in the cerebral hemispheres (45,6 %). In the series, 49,1 % of the patients presented haematomas with volume of up to 30 mL and 7,7 % with the double of that content. A direct relation was observed between the blood volume in the cerebral parenchyma above 60 mL and the final prognosis of those affected.

Keywords : hemorrhages; cerebral intraparenchymal hemorrhages; cerebral hemisphere; hematoma; prognosis factors; computerized axial tomography.
