چکیده
Expansion of traumatic Delayed and isolated intracerebral hemorrhage: intraventricular tension Treatment implications with pneumocephalus after recombinant factor VIIa shunting for normal pressure hydrocephalus Sir, I read with interest the recent article by Yadav et al. They reported an expansion in hematoma volume in about Sir, 16% of cases that were re-imaged within 24 hours of the Tension intraventricular pneumocephalus (TIP) usually initial CT scan. Presence of coagulopathy was an important occurs during the surgical procedure but delayed and predictor of hematoma expansion. isolated TIP without air in the pericerebral subarachnoid This finding could allow the use of newer therapeutic space is a unique complication. We found only one case options for traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). reported in the French literature. [1]

متن کاملHematoma expansion following acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), the most devastating form of stroke, has no specific therapy proven to improve outcome by randomized controlled trial. Location and baseline hematoma volume are strong predictors of mortality, but are nonmodifiable by the time of diagnosis. Expansion of the initial hematoma is a further marker of poor prognosis that may be at least partly preventable. Several ris...
