Ⅰ. 서론

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) refers to the bleeding that occurs within the brain tissue itself, a condition that poses significant clinical challenges and carries a high risk of morbidity and mortality. This type of hemorrhage can arise from various etiologies, including hypertension, vascular malformations, trauma, coagulopathies, or tumors, and it represents a critical emergency in neurology. The pathophysiology of ICH involves the rupture of small penetrating arteries, often exacerbated by chronic hypertension, or larger vessels due to structural abnormalities. The sudden onset of symptoms typically includes severe headache, altered consciousness, neurological deficits, and potentially life-threatening complications. The incidence of ICH varies globally but shows considerable prevalence in populations with high rates of hypertension and associated vascular diseases. The impact of ICH extends beyond the acute event, often resulting in long-term neurological impairment a…(생략)
