✓ The authors report their experience with 124 cases of intracranial hemorrhage in children and adolescents; the study includes 25 cases first reported in 1958. Fifty aneurysms with a mortality rate of 28% and 33 arteriovenous malformations with a mortality rate of 21% are included; 32 cases had no angiographically demonstrable lesion, six had miscellaneous lesions, and three primary cerebral hemorrhage. Specific programs for therapeutic management based on this experience are discussed.
