In Japan, cerebral hemorrhage accounts for 19.5% of stroke patients, and its prognosis is poorer than that of cerebral infarction, with a mortality rate of 14.6%. In the initial treatment of cerebral hemorrhage, the airway, respiration, and circulation should be stabilized, and the intracranial pressure and body temperature should be controlled. Hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage is the most common cause; however, the cause should be carefully examined, and the treatment method should be selected according to the degree of urgency. Cerebral hemorrhage patients undergoing antithrombotic therapy show poor outcomes owing to increased hematoma. Therefore, antithrombotic drugs should be discontinued immediately. Blood products and neutralizing drugs should be administered in response to the administration of antithrombotic drugs. In young individuals, cerebrovascular disorders may be caused by the abuse of sympathomimetic drugs, such as stimulants and cocaine. Whether individuals or their family members are using illegal drugs should be confirmed.
