Secondary neurological deterioration in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) develops within the first 24 or 48 h after ICH onset and appears to portend a poor prognosis. We aimed to verify whether hypodensities within an acute ICH detected by noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) were able to predict secondary neurological deterioration and investigate which monitoring window was of the highest predictive value.
