Abstract
There were 75 patients with the CT finding of cerebral hemorrhage, treated at the Clinic of Neurology and at the Department of Neurosurgery, Osijek Clinical Hospital. The clinical examination upon their admittance to the Hospital showed that 42 patients had a minor neurological disorder (paresis) whereas 31 patients had a major disorder (plegia). In 41 patients the state of consciousness was altered. CT evaluation of the patients was performed on the third day upon admission to the hospital. The average duration of hospitalization of those patients at the Clinic of Neurology was 19 days. Out of 62 patients treated at the Clinic of Neurology, 40 (53.3%) survived, and 22 (29.3%) died. Out of 13 patients treated at the Department of Neurosurgery, 8 (10.7%) survived and 5 (6.7%) died.
