Abstract
Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is defined as a collection of blood in the cerebral parenchyma that is not caused by trauma. ICH is the second most frequent cause of stroke, accounting for 10–15 % of all cases in high-income countries and about 20 % in low- to middle-income countries. Despite an apparent stability of incidence over the past decades, the profile of ICH has changed: there are fewer deep ICHs associated with pre-stroke hypertension, whereas the increasing age of the population associated with a more extensive use of antithrombotic drugs leads to an increase of lobar ICH. Deep perforating vasculopathy remains the most important cause of ICH, followed by cerebral amyloid angiopathy, these two aetiologies account for nearly 70 % of all ICH cases. Recent scientific evidence has highlighted new aspects of the pathophysiology of such disorders; nevertheless, the morbidity and mortality of ICH remain extremely high. In the present article, the different causes of ICH will be reviewed.
