%X Background: Stroke (ischaemic & haemorrhagic) is a major cause of mortality and morbidity in the developed as well as in the developing countries. Perihaematoma oedema and haematoma expansion are two important points to be considered when deciding outcome of patients with ICH. Brain damage due to haematoma may be irreversible but the injury from perihaematoma oedema may be reversible. It has been seen that S. ferritin is the most reliable indicator of body iron. Treatment with iron chelators may give better outcome after ICH
