INTRODUCTION: @entity548 ( @entity548 ) is an uncommon type of @entity1779 . Relatively little is known about clinical and imaging features, and even less about prognosis and predictors of mortality. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analysed clinical and imaging features, causative factors and outcome of 26 @entity1 with CT brain scan evidence of @entity548 . A multivariate regression model of failure time data was used to assess predictors of in-hospital mortality. RESULTS: @entity909 was the first manifestation of @entity548 in six @entity1 and occurred after all other symptoms in five. In other @entity1 , onset was characterized by @entity10 , @entity391 , @entity911 and disorientation (n=8) or by @entity10 with or without @entity391 (n=7). Angiography revealed @entity1462 in eight @entity1 (31%). Other possible causative factors were @entity4461 in one @entity1 and arterial @entity101 in 10. No cause was identified in seven @entity1 . Early @entity1276 was the most frequent complication and resolved spontaneously in a minority of @entity1 . In-hospital mortality was high (42%): four @entity1 died early of direct consequence of bleeding and seven died after clinical worsening because of increasing @entity1276 or other adverse events. Multivariate analysis indicated Glasgow @entity772 Scale < or = 8 (OR 4.67; 95% CI 1.22-17.92) and early @entity1276 (OR 4.93; 95% CI 1.13-21.59) as independent predictors of in-hospital mortality. CONCLUSION: In @entity1 with @entity548 , @entity1276 seems to be a critical determinant of in-hospital mortality and this suggests the need for early treatment strategies.
