Abstract

We reviewed the medical records and imaging studies on the in-hospital patients to investigate the clinical and etiological patterns in hemorrhagic stroke in young patients. We evaluated 210 patients (131 males and 79 females) aged 15-45 years who had traumatic hemorrhagic stroke between April 1, 1986, and November 30, 1992. Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage was diagnosed in 170 patients (80.9%). The main causes of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage were hypertension, ruptured arteriovenous malformation, and blood dyscrasia. A cause was not found in 42 patients (24.7%). Subarachnoid hemorrhage was found in 40 patients (19.1%). The main causes were ruptured aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations. The overall in-hospital survival of young patients with hemorrhagic stroke was 64.7%. Young adults with nontraumatic intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage are a heterogeneous group. Hypertension accounts for about one-third of intracerebral hemorrhage and is an important preventable cause of hemorrhagic stroke in young adults in Taiwan.
