"The haemorrhages can vary in size from only a centimetre or so (often asymptomatic) to larger haematomas where there may be extension into subdural, subarachnoid and even the intraventricular space (intraventricular extension being more common in basal ganglia haemorrhages). The ABC/2 formula gives reliable estimation of the intracerebral haematoma volume."
"Notably, neurosurgical intervention has mixed evidence in patients with lobar intracerebral haemorrhage. One randomised trial (STICH II) suggested early surgical therapy did not decrease the rate of death or disability at six months 13. However, another randomised control trial (ENRICH) showed that minimally invasive haematoma evacuation, within 24 hours of presentation, improved functional outcomes 17."
