The differential diagnosis of intracerebral hemorrhage versus ischemic stroke has critical implications for stroke management. Transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) has been shown to identify intracerebral hemorrhages and intracerebral vessel occlusions. We conducted this study to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of TCCS in this differential diagnosis and in the detection of stroke complications.
