Central @entity4681 have been reported on the hemiplegic side only. In a study on supratentorial @entity1779 ( @entity1779 ), we found @entity713 ( @entity713 ) prolongation on the non-hemiplegic side in 12 @entity1 . This study reports the prognostic significance of @entity713 prolongation on the non-hemiplegic side. CT scans were reviewed and @entity713 was measured at the 2nd, 4th and 12th week. Recovery was defined on the basis of the 3 months' Barthel index score. Their mean age was 52 (range 25-60) years, 6 were males. Eight had putaminal, 3 thalamic and 1 frontal hematomata. The size of the @entity1410 was large in 5 and moderate in 7. The clinical signs of @entity3976 were present in 5; radiological evidence of midline shift in 10 and tentorial @entity3976 in 6 @entity1 was also present. There was no other @entity854 to account for the prolongation of @entity713 on the non-hemiplegic side which returned to normal in all 5 @entity1 after a mean duration of 34 (range 11-120) days. Five of these @entity1 died and the remaining had a poor outcome. We conclude that @entity713 prolongation on the non-hemiplegic side in supratentorial @entity1410 suggests a poor prognosis.
