Abstract
Forty-five patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) we re studied prospectively by dynamic CT and cerebral angiography. The a ccuracy of dynamic CT in demonstrating:the underlying vascular cause i n ICH was evaluated. Dynamic CT correctly predicted 90% of aneurysms, 83% of AVMs and 100% of normal studies as compared to angiography. Cer ebral angiography can be obviated in patients where dynamic CT does no t show any obvious vascular anomaly.
