Abstract

Primary intracerebral hemorrhage is an important public health problem due to
high mortality and level of disability among survivals leading to prolonged hospital management.
The most important risk factor for primary intracerebral hemorrhage is arterial hypertension.
Treatment of arterial hypertension is the main goal in intracerebral hemorrhage
management. In the patients with a decreased level of consciousness management of high
intracranial pressure is necessary to prevent secondary brain injury by maintaining optimal
cerebral blood flow measured by cerebral perfusion pressure. According to current guidelines
in intracerebral hemorrhage treatment in some cases specific measures are needed. In
spite of the number of studies there is no specific therapy currently.
