Intracerebral hemorrhage is a neurovascular emergency associated with high mortality and morbidity. With in-depth reviews of the clinical and biological aspects of the condition, this text provides an up-to-date coverage of this form of stroke. The book covers epidemiology, causes, clinical presentation, management and prognosis, and describes the ongoing research advances aimed at improving our understanding of the condition. The book fills an existing gap in the medical literature. The chapters discussing the clinical aspects of intracerebral hemorrhage are aimed at the practitioner directing the care of stroke victims. Chapters exploring the biology of pathophysiological events triggered by this disease will provide readers with current data directed to facilitate experimental research in this field of cerebrovascular neurology. It will appeal to clinicians and those with a research interest in cerebrovascular diseases.

Index.

'The three editors, J. Ricardo Carhuapoma, Stephan A. Mayer and Daniel F. Hanley, have clearly succeeded in compiling a standard textbook of high quality (both in writing, tables, images and pictures). It contains all recent publications in the field of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage ... This is definitely a [highly] recommendable book - it should be on the bookshelf of any neurointensivist dealing with such patients.' E.
