Assessment of systemic cellular inflammatory response after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents a major devastating event despite maximal therapeutic efforts. It accounts for 15% of all strokes with mortality rates reaching as high as 30% [1]. Several potential treatment options failed to reduce mortality or to improve the outcome in patients with ICH. Trials on drug treatment as well as on surgical approaches have failed to demonstrate a benefit towards any of those options [2,3].
