  ABSTRACT: Background: In caribbean space stroke incidence is 50% higher than in Europe. This study aims to describe characteristics of intracerebral hemorrhage in Guadeloupe. Methods: This was a retrospective study of hospitalized patients with a no-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage during one year from 2013 to 2014. Survivors were contacted by telephone at the end of the study and; if accept, vital status and Rankin scale were assessed. Results: In one year, 1418 patients were hospitalized for an acute stroke. 112 had no-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (7.9%). The sex ratio F/H was 0.72. Mean age of the population was at 63.0 ± 14.7 years. Hypertension and diabetes were the leading risk factors notice with respectively 62 and 25 patients. Intracerebral hemorrhage distribution was: deep 48.2%, lobar 30.4%, sub-tentorial 17.9%, meningeal 3.5%. Severity signs distribution were mass effect 79%, ventricular contamination 43% and cerebral herniation 37%. Mean during of in-hospital stay was 10.6 ± 10.3 days and in-hospital mortality was 22 patients (19.6%). A year and a half after emergency 5 additional death (4.5%) between 35 patients survivors was noticed with median Rankin scale 1.5. Conclusion: Intracerebral hemorrhage is less frequent in African American as compared to Caucasian; the epidemiological excess of strokes in this population is related to ischemic strokes.
