Natural history

Based on the anatomic location and size of the hemorrhage, hemorrhagic stroke may have a different outcome

• Large clot may form and compress adjacent tissue, and may result in herniation and death.
• Blood may also dissect into the ventricular space, which substantially increases morbidity and may cause hydrocephalus

Prognosis

• Despite aggressive and newer management strategies, the prognosis of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage is very poor
• Case-fatality at 1 month is over 40 % and has not improved in last few decades.
