blood pressure as found in people with hypertension, eclampsia,
and abuse of some drugs (Liebeskind, 2004). A third of
intracerebral bleeds result in intraventricular haemorrhage, or
bleeding within the brain's ventricles (Liebeskind, 2004). ICH
has a mortality rate of 44 percent after 30 days, higher than
