[Epidemiology of hemorrhagic strokes]
Abstract
Hemorrhagic stroke (HS) may be secondary to spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage or to subarachnoid hemorrhage. There are no clinical symptoms that differentiate hemorrhagic stroke form ischemic stroke (IS) and only imaging can make the difference. But epidemiology, pathologic process and management are different in HS and IS. We will discuss the different risk factors of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
