Popis: Spontaneous intracerebral hematomas may present with a wide range of clinical symptoms and neuroradiological appearances. Upon presentation of a patient with an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) it needs to be decided whether there is time or necessity for further diagnostic procedures after the initial computed tomographic (CT) scan, which is still the most frequently used diagnostic tool. Apart from the clinical decision as to how urgently an evacuation of the clot needs to be undertaken, the decision for or against further diagnostic procedures has to be made if no underlying disease is known and the CT presentation is different from the typical ICH occurring in hypertensive patients.
