[Specific treatment for intracerebral hemorrhage. Experts' recommendations: stroke management in the intensive care unit].

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages represent from 10 to 15% of strokes. They can be defined by the eruption of arterial blood within the cerebral parenchyma. Clinical signs are not specific and the diagnosis can only be made using brain imaging techniques (CT or magnetic resonance imaging). Management of intracerebral hemorrhage combines general measures (neurovascular intensive care unit, treatment of high blood pressure and of neurotoxic factors) with more specific measures including correction of coagulation abnormalities and, in some cases, neurosurgical treatment.
