Hemorrhagic Stroke in the Tropics

Abstract

With the increasing industrialization of countries in the tropical and subtropical regions, cerebrovascular disease is becoming an increasingly recognized cause of morbidity and mortality. The incidence of hemorrhagic stroke versus ischemic stroke is unclear as data regarding hemorrhagic stroke in developing countries of the tropical and subtropical regions, especially in the English literature, continues to be sparse.
