Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), defined as nontraumatic bleeding into the
brain parenchyma, is the second most common subtype of stroke, with 5.3 million cases and over 3 million deaths reported worldwide in 2010. Timely and aggressive
management in the acute phase may mitigate secondary
brain injury. CH is most commonly caused by hypertension, arteriovenous malformations, or head trauma. Treatment focuses on stopping the bleeding, removing the blood clot (hematoma), and relieving the pressure on the brain.
