Counsel prognosis from hemorrhage volume, level of consciousness, and intraventricular extension rather than a single label. The lethal blood-volume threshold is a reminder that expansion and location drive outcome.

Intraventricular blood volume reaching 20 cc is typically considered lethal; Long-term impact is severe, the 6-month mortality rate or rate of severe, permanent disability can reach up to 70% to 75% for cerebellar presentations; Statistically, these hemorrhages occur more frequently on the left side of the brain; Yes, it is a major negative factor, and this is especially true for individuals who were taking active anticoagulation at the time of the bleed; Stop the medication immediately and fully reverse the anticoagulant effects, maintaining a hold on those therapies for at least one to two weeks
