Recent Advances in the Acute Management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Abstract

Primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common, devastating disease that lacks an effective specific treatment. Mortality is high, functional outcomes are poor, and these have not substantially changed for decades. There is, therefore, considerable opportunity for advancement in the management of ICH. In recent years, a significant amount of research has begun to address this gap. This article is aimed at updating neurologists on the most clinically relevant contemporary research.
