Predicting Hemorrhagic Stroke

Predicting Hemorrhagic Transformation of Acute Ischemic Stroke

Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) increases the morbidity and mortality of ischemic stroke. Anticoagulation is often indicated in patients with atrial fibrillation, low ejection fraction, or mechanical valves who are hospitalized with acute stroke, but increases the risk of HT. Risk quantification would be useful. Prior studies have investigated risk of systemic hemorrhage in anticoagulated patie...

Evaluation of hemorrhagic infarction in stroke patients

Background: Hemorrhagic Transformation of Infarct (HTI) is an important finding which has been reported mainly in cardio embolic strokes . Although clinical status of the patients is not often deteriorated , however decision making for anticoagulation is difficult in HTI patients. The goal of this survey was to determine the prevalence and the cause of HTI in patients in the Vali Asr hospi...

Hemorrhagic stroke: introduction.

T he last form of stroke without a primary treatment is intra-cerebral hemorrhage (ICH). 1 The past decade has brought significant understanding of hematoma expansion, ICH volume , and intraventricular hemorrhage extension as independent severity factors. 2 The Surgical Treatment for Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) trials indicate that craniotomy is not the answer for deep hematomas but has crea...

Medial pontine hemorrhagic stroke.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This case report documents a rare opportunity to observe the motor function of an individual for nearly 6 months following a primary pontine hemorrhage in the medial pontine tegmentum of the brain stem. The purpose of this report is to illustrate how knowledge of the location of the hemorrhage, in conjunction with knowledge of brain-stem structure-function relationships, ...
