Abstract
The paper presents the incidence, causes, locations, and prognosis of intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) in people aged ? 35 years. We retrospectively investigated consecutive 191 patients with neuroimaging evidence or pathological confirmation of symptomatic ICH and we found 8 cases of intracerebral hemorrhages in young people (? 35 years). The most frequent risk factors were hypertension, tobacco use and alcohol use. The locations of ICH in young people were basal ganglia/internal capsule and lobar, and the most common causes was high blood pressure, one case of vascular malformation and cryptogenic ICH was considered in two cases. Hemorrhagic stroke in young people are mainly located in the basal ganglia in high blood pressure and lobar caused of vascular malformation. Mortality and morbidity in the acute phase are low and are related to hypertension as the cause of hemorrhagic stroke.
