See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Computed tomography showed 76%of the patients had infarcts,11%had hemorrhages,and 13%had no acute lesion.Forty-three patients had more than one acute lesion,and 57 had one or more old infarctions.The temporal, parietal,and frontal regions and the basal ganglia were most often affected.Conclusions:We conclude that age,level of consciousness,and involvement of the temporal lobe on computed tomography were factors of prognostic significance regarding survival in the acute phase.
