Results
The most common cause of ICH was elevated blood pressure in 84.88% of all cases (Table 1).
In addition to ICH,
in 76 patients intraventricular hemorrhage was also recorded (37.07%). CT angiography showed intracranial aneurysms
in 13.17% patients.
In patients with ICH caused by the arterial hypertension and trauma,
CT angiography was normal,
without the signs of intracranial aneurysms or arteriovenous malformations.
Mean value and standard deviation obtained by the ABC/2 method were 42.87 ± 36.75 cm3,
while mean value and standard deviation obtained by computer semiautomatic method with volumetric programme were 53.26 ± 46.72 cm3 (Table 2).
There was a statistically significant difference between values obtained by these two methods (p=0.03).
The absolute difference was 10.39 cm3.
Values acquired by computer method were 19.51% higher than those acquired by formula.
There was a statistically strong positive correlation between these two methods (r=0.853,
p<0.05) (Fig.
7).
There was no statistically significant difference between the values obtained in male and female patients using both methods (p>0.05).
Only eight hematomas were located in cerebellar hemispheres (3.9%),
while all the others were located in the cerebral hemispheres (96.1%).
