چکیده

SPONTANEOUS, non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in the adult is most commonly secondary to hypertensive cerebrovascular disease. In 70-90% of cases of spontaneous ICH, arterial hypertension is the presumed cause. These hypertensive hemorrhages show a predilection for certain anatomic locations: the basal ganglia (the putamen in particular), the subcortical white matter, and the thalamus account for 35%, 25%, and 20% of ICHs, respectively, whereas the posterior fossa locations, the cerebellum and pons, are responsible for only 10% and 5% of the cases. Irrespective of their anatomic locations, the common pathogenesis in these hemorrhages involves the hypertension-induced degeneration of the media of small (50-200 micra) arteries called "lypo-hyalinosis," and/ or the formation of "microaneurysms", both of which occur preferentially in perforating or small sub-cortical arteries, thus resulting in the characteristic anatomic distribution of hypertensive ICH.

Objective: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) following systemic and chronic hypertension is one of the main causes of acute stroke leading to disability and death. Identifying the risk factors in ICH patients can be effective in reducing bleeding and the rates of mortality and disability in these patients. This study was carried out to investigate the factors associated with ICH.Methods: A t...

Non-hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage: some interesting observations.

Hypertension is the commonest cause of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) but non-hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhages (NHICH) are not rare. We report three interesting cases of NHICH subsequent to amyloid angiopathy, alcoholic hepatitis and amphetamine abuse. They suggest the importance of recognizing these conditions and need for urgent specific therapy which may play a vital role in therapeuti...

Multiple Spontaneous Intracerebral Hematoma without Presenting Risk Factors

The incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage in those aged 45-84 years is 0.3-0.5%. In people over 80 years of age, this incidence increases 25-fold compared with that of the total population. The most common causes of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the younger population are vascular malformation, aneurysm, and overuse of drugs. In contrast, common causes in the elderly include hypertens...
