Introduction The study included 39 patients treated in a special hospital for the prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases “Sveti Sava” in Belgrade in the period from October 2010 to January 2012. The criteria for inclusion in the study is the moment of diagnosis of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the basal ganglia of the brain (BG).

Results We analyzed 25 male patients and 14 female patients, aged 54 to 95 years. In deceased group, 22 (56.4%) and 20 (90.9%) were in the age group 60 to 80 years; GCS: 3–5, 12 patients (54.5%) died, GCS: 6–8, 10 patients (45.5%), 20 patients (90.9%) also had intracerebral and intraventricular hemorrhage complicated by acute hydrocephalus.

Conclusion Predisposing factors for mortality within 1 year in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the basal ganglia of the brain are males older than 60 years, unregulated hypertension, and penetration of blood in the chamber system.
