Abstract
Our statistical investigation about 614 patients suffering from cerebral vascular accidents leads us to draw the following conclusions : 1. The most common age period for the occurrence of these accidents is between 60 and 70 years except that cerebral emboli and pure subarachnoid hemorrhages occur more frequently in younger people. 2. Symptoms considered as classical for the differential diagnosis between encephalomalacie and cerebral hemorrhage are of questionable value. Flushed face, Cheyne-Stokes respiration, deep coma and especially bloody cerebrospinal fluid and vomiting are of very great practical importance for the diagnosis of cerebral hemorrhages. 3. The prognosis of meningocerebral hemorrhage is very poor. The mortality rate reaches 87,5 %. For cases of encephalomalacia it is but 31,6 %. 4. At the present time, there is no treatment for cerebral accidents which is to be highly recommended. 5. A wider statistical investigation as explained earlier by J. Roskam, would be very interesting to decide of the best plan of treatment for cerebral vascular accidents. This investigation should be concerned as well about improvement of the differential diagnosis between the different types of these accidents.
