An Unusual Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Intracerebral hemorrhage.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10 to 15% of all strokes, but results in a disproportionately high morbidity and mortality. Although chronic hypertension accounts for the majority of ICH, other common causes include cerebral amyloid angiopathy, sympathomimetic drugs of abuse, and underlying cerebral vascular anomalies. Validated baseline predictors of clinical outcome after ICH incl...

Intracerebral hemorrhage.

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) represents a significant fraction of all strokes and causes a disproportionate amount of stroke related morbidity and mortality, especially in young blacks. While diagnosis of this disorder has greatly improved in the CT era, morbidity and mortality remain essentially unchanged. Not one currently utilized therapeutic modality has been clearly associated with a ben...

Neuroinflammation after intracerebral hemorrhage

Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a particularly severe type of stroke for which no specific treatment has been established yet. Although preclinical models of ICH have substantial methodological limitations, important insight into the pathophysiology has been gained. Mounting evidence suggests an important contribution of inflammatory mechanisms to brain damage and potential repair...

Quantitative Intracerebral Hemorrhage Localization.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The location of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is currently described in a qualitative way; we provide a quantitative framework for estimating ICH engagement and its relevance to stroke outcomes. METHODS We analyzed 111 patients with ICH from the Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Recombinant-Tissue Plasminogen Activator for Intracerebral Evacuation (MISTIE) II clinical tr...
