Abstract
Since McKissock et al. published their historical study in 1961 [9] which showed no benefit from surgical treatment, the role of surgery in the treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hematomas has remained a matter of debate. After the introduction of computed tomography (CT) still no generally recognized criteria for a surgical indication are available despite several recent studies [1,4, 5, 7, 10]. Facing the ethical problems of a prospective randomized trial the following questions were investigated by a retrospective clinical study: What is the impact of clinical and radiological factors on patients outcome? Are there subgroups defined by these prognostic parameters which are significantly different after conservative or surgical treatment?
