Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) imparts a higher mortality and morbidity than ischemic stroke.

There is a paucity of evidence to support any one acute intervention that improves functional outcome. This chapter highlights current treatment targets for ICH based on the pathophysiology of the disease.
