AB Intracranial  hemorrhage  (ICH)  accounts  for  15%  of  all  strokes,  and  there  are  approximately  37,000  cases  in  the  United  States  per  year.  These  patients  have  the  highest  mortality  of  all  stroke  subsets  (>30%)  and  50%  of  deaths  occur  in  the  first  48  hours  after  the  event.  Survivors  of  ICH  often  have  profound  neurologic  deficits  and  only  the  minority  will  regain  functional  independence  at  6  months.1
