Accounting for 10-15% of all strokes, non-traumatic ICH is linked with significant morbidity and mortality. Risk factors for ICH encompass chronic hypertension, amyloid angiopathy, anticoagulant medication use, and vascular malformations. Seizures often manifest as part of the initial symptoms of ICH, though in some instances, they may present as a delayed complication occurring approximately two hours post-hemorrhage. The diagnostic cornerstone for ICH remains a non-contrast CT scan of the head due to its accessibility and rapidity. Additionally, MR angiography and MR venography can identify vascular abnormalities such as arteriovenous malformations and cavernomas. For patients on vitamin K antagonists, guidelines recommend the management of spontaneous ICH by correcting...
