Article Abstract
Correlation of lesion location and appearance with clinical sequelae in 25 patients with CT-proven frontal lobe hematomas reveals 10 of 25 hematomas were located above the frontal horns of the lateral ventricles.Nine of the 10 patients were normotensive.All presented with contralateral motor and sensory deficits.Four of 25 hematomas were situated inferior to the frontal horns.All these patients were hypertensive,rapidly became comatose and exhibited hemiplegia,hemianesthesia and gaze preference contralateral to the hemiplegia.Five patients had frontal hematomas which extended inward from the interhemispheric fissure or caval-septal region.All were normotensive.All had anterior cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysms on angiography.Four patients had hematomas involving both the frontal and temporal region.All were normotensive with no known cause for hemorrhage.Two patients had bifrontal hematomas;one had butterfly appearance extending across the interhemispheric fissure and the other was midline but had no interhemispheric blood.Both were normotensive.One had an anterior cerebral-anterior communicating artery aneurysm.
