Background: ICH is the second most frequent variant of stroke following ischemic stroke with the prevalence of 10- 20% in patients with hypertension, their families and society in general. The primary imaging modality suggested for the initial emergency diagnosis of acute stroke is noncontrast CT imaging of the brain. Objective: To accentuate the use of CT scan in investigating the prevalence of ICH in different areas of brain as a gold standard imaging tool in patients with HTN and acute stroke in the population of Gujranwala. Material and Method: This research was conducted at the Gondal Medical Complex Center in Gujranwala, Pakistan, that includes 100 HTN patients of all ages who presented to the hospital CT department with symptoms of headache, vertigo, and nausea from August to December 2020. Results: In the population of 100 patients, the ICH was seen in different brain areas of brain i.e., lobar region, basal ganglia, thalamus, cerebellum and brain stem. On CT scan, the most common site of hemorrhage was Lobar (40%), then Basal Ganglia (35%), Thalamus (12%), Cerebellum(8%) and Brain stem(5%). Conclusion: CT scan has proven to be the excellent, non-invasive and safe imaging modality to localize the exact location of intracerebral hemorrhage. CT has great sensitivity to bleed it will rule out any other type of bleed including SAH, IVH.
