Primary:

 Change of volume of perihematomal edema as assessed by brain CT.

 Secondary:

 The change of ICH volume between the initial and the follow-up CT scans The neurological
 status at 90 day using E-GOS and mRS. The cumulative incidence of major and minor adverse
 events that occurred during and after hospitalization until the end of the study
