Abstrakt: Data from prior studies using serial imaging and post mortem data support the possibility that at least some cases of apparent primary intracerebral haemorrhage are due to early haemorrhagic transformation of infarct. If some primary intracerabral haemorrhage is actually early haemorrhagic transformation of infarct, then secondary stroke prevention for ischaemic stroke might be appropriate and so future studies should obtain data to determine the frequency of early major haemorrhagic transformation of infarct.
