Intracerebral hemorrhage as a result of a diagnostic or therapeutic procedure is a rare but potentially devastating event. The fear of hemorrhagic complications influences neurosurgical decision making. The incidence of iatrogenic intracerebral hemorrhage and risk factors for this complication are reviewed for neurosurgical procedures as well as for non-neurosurgical procedures with a known risk of intracerebral hemorrhage.

ReviewIntracerebral hemorrhage due to cerebral arteriovenous malformations.
The most common presentation of a pial arteriovenous malformation (AVM) is spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). The peak incidence of ICH is early in the third decade of life. This article discusses the management of ICH of unknown etiology, ICH from angiographically visible AVM, and ICH from angiographically occult vascular malformations based on the current understanding of the natural history of these disease entities.
