Owl Eye Appearance: Simultaneous Bilateral Hypertensive Putaminal Hematoma
نویسنده
چکیده
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10 to 20% of all strokes. It is the leading cause of all strokes, second only to cerebral infarction [1]. Hypertension is the single most important risk factor for ICH, often leading to solitary ICH [2,3]. Though hypertension can lead to recurrent ICH, the occurrence of multiple simultaneous ICH is rare [4]. The occurrence of multiple simultaneous ICH has been observed in 2% of all hemorrhagic strokes [2,5]. Multiple simultaneous ICH due to hypertension has been reported in same or different vascular territories [2,4]. Simultaneous occurrence of hypertensive ICH in bilateral putaminal region appearing as mirror image (Owl eye appearance) has been rarely reported [5-7].

متن کاملA Case of Simultaneous Hypertensive Hemorrhage in the Ipsilateral Putamen and Thalamus
A 75-year-old man with a history of hypertension suddenly became disoriented with consciousness and speech disturbance. A CT scan taken 45 minutes after the onset revealed a large high-density area in the left putaminal region and a small high-density area in the left thalamic region.

متن کاملInfluence of liver dysfunction on volume of putaminal hemorrhage.
We studied the relations of age, sex, hypertension, alcohol consumption, liver dysfunction, and thrombocyte count to the volume of the hematoma in 141 patients with spontaneous putaminal hemorrhage. Hematomas were significantly larger in men, regular alcohol consumers, those with liver dysfunction, and those with low platelet counts. Our findings reflect the fact that almost all of the alcohol ...
