Preface

On March 9–11, 2010, the Third International Conference on Intracerebral Hemorrhage was held at the exquisite Rancho Las Palmas Resort in Rancho Mirage, California. No one could have asked for a better venue – beautiful weather, lush gardens, and a location city that attracts millions of people from all over the world each year, i.e., the world-renowned city of Palm Springs. Surrounded by the snow-capped mountains and the peaceful sounds of circulating swimming pools, this year’s conference was home to the largest gathering of intracerebral hemorrhage researchers from all over the world. For two full and productive days, a total of 66 invited oral presentations accompanied by 56 posters presented themes ranging from Predisposed Factors, Experimental Models, Inflammation and Immune Systems, Hematoma Clearance, Oxidative Stress, Neuroprotection, Vascular Responses, AVM Hemorrhage, Hemorrhage Transformation, Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Neonatal Brain Injury, Surgical Brain Injury, Clinical Trials, Clinical Treatment, Surgical Management, and Neuro-ICU, just to name a few. Looking back, the Third International Conference on Intracerebral Hemorrhage was historic for several reasons. First and foremost, this was the first independent conference on intracerebral hemorrhage, distinct from the first two international conferences on intracerebral hemorrhage th
