| Abstract | ||||
| Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the brain disturbance due to external mechanical forces causing short- or long-term impairment of the brain functions. One of the common and dangerous outcome of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is intracranial hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhage can be divided into categories based on where it occurs: subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), intracerebral hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage (SDH) or epidural hemorrhage (EDH). Traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (TICH), also known as cerebral contusion or traumatic intraparenchymal hemorrhage, is reported to be linked with bad prognosis and can cause physical, mental, and cognitive impairment that might last a lifetime. Many variables, including the extent and location of the hemorrhage and the patient's clinical state at the time of presentation, affect how severe intracerebral bleeding turns out, which can determine the need of surgical intervention, length of hospital stay and the patient outcome. AIM: The aim of this study was to identify prognostic factors in patients suffering from traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage and compare patients with favorable and unfavorable outcomes. | ||||
