Popis: Objectives Posterior location affects the clinical presentation and outcome of ischemic stroke, but little is known about occipital intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We studied non-traumatic occipital ICH phenotype, outcome, and post-ICH epilepsy. Materials and Methods Occipital ICH patients were retrospectively identified from the Helsinki ICH Study registry of 1013 consecutive ICH patients treated in our tertiary center in 2005-2010. They were compared to non-occipital ICH patients to evaluate the effect of location on functional outcome at discharge (dichotomized modified Rankin Scale, mRS), 3- and 12-month mortality, and incidence of epilepsy. Results We found 19 occipital ICH patients (5.3% of lobar and 1.9% of all ICH). Compared to non-occipital lobar ICHs, they were younger (median age 63 vs 71 years,P= .007) and had lower National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale on admission (1 vs 8,P
