ABSTRACT

In this study, we have studıed the relatıonships of localisation of the hematama, the size oj it and the presence of lacunar iıifarct with hypertension in computenz ed tomography in spontaneous intracerebral hematama (SICH).

100 cases diagnosed as SICH, and selected randamlyand retrospectively have been taken to our study iniası three years. In CT sections, the awerage size of the biggest dimensions of hematama, and whether lacımar infarcı ıs present have been determined. In the eveluation of arterial pressure, Those whose arterıal pressure are over TA: 140190 mmHg have accepted as hypertensive subjects. Chi-Square test has been employedfor the statıstical analysis. Findings - There was a meaninful relatıonship betıveen the size of hematama and lacunar itifarct. Odss ratio [OR]= 6.682, % 95 CI (2.09- 21.36) P < 0.001. In the history of the patients, there was a insignificiant relationship of hypertension with lacunar infarcı (p>0.05). There was a significant re relationship of hypertension with lacunar iıifarct in the onset of stroke (p<0.0029). And an insignificant re fatianship between /acunar iıifarct and de atlı was present (p>0.05 ).

This study has shown that there is a meaninful relationship between the sıze of hematama and lacunar infarct. The relationship of hypertension determined in initial stroke witlı the lacunar infarct was more important than hypertension determined in the history of the patient.
