Abstract

|
The author reviewed the cases of 22 patients with thalamic hemorrhage who were seen at the Chungnam National University Hospital between 1985 and 1987. The analysis was based on clinical-CT correlations. The age of the patients ranged from 35 years to 83 years(mean : 57 years). Sixteen(73%) were hypertensive. The size of hematoma was less than 10mm in 2 patients, 10-30mm in 14 patients ana larger than 30mm in 6 patients. Impaired consciousness was observed in 77%. The prognosis seemed to be inversely proportional to the size of hematoma and the severity of consciousness impairment. Miosis with or without sluggish light reflex occurred in 6 patients and gaze preference in 4. Visual field defect was observed in 1 patient. Hemiparesis was associated in 95% of patients and hemisensory defect was confirmed in 13 patients among the 17 patients tested. Dysphasia and dysarthria occurred in 3 and 5 patients respectively.
