Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Perihemorrhagic Edema and Secondary Hematoma Expansion: From Bench Work to Ongoing Controversies
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a medical emergency, which often leads to severe disability and death. ICH-related poor outcomes are due to primary injury causing structural damage and mass effect and secondary injury in the perihemorrhagic region over several days to weeks. Secondary injury after ICH can be due to hematoma expansion (HE) or a consequence of repair pathway along the continuum of neuroinflammation, neuronal death, and perihemorrhagic edema (PHE). This review article is focused on PHE and HE and will cover the animal studies, related human studies, and clinical trials relating to these mechanisms of secondary brain injury in ICH patients.

Secondary Hematoma Expansion and Perihemorrhagic Edema after Intracerebral Hemorrhage: From Bench Work to Practical Aspects
Intracerebral hemorrhages (ICH) represent about 10-15% of all strokes per year in the United States alone. Key variables influencing the long-term outcome after ICH are hematoma size and growth. Although death may occur at the time of the hemorrhage, delayed neurologic deterioration frequently occurs with hematoma growth and neuronal injury of the surrounding tissue. Perihematoma edema has also...
متن کاملEvidence against a perihemorrhagic penumbra provided by perfusion computed tomography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several recent studies analyzing perfusion changes in acute intracerebral hemorrhage fed the debate whether there is secondary ischemic tissue damage in the vicinity of intracerebral hemorrhage. We used perfusion CT to address this question. METHODS We examined 36 patients between 2001 and 2002 with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (within 24 hours after symptom onset). A...
متن کاملThe relationship between the serum levels of ferritin and the radiological brain injury indices in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage
Objective(s): Preclinical studies show that iron plays a key role in mediating neuronal injury. This study was performedin order to identify the relationship between the serum level of ferritin and severity of the brain injury which occur after an Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Materials and Methods:This was a cross sectional descriptive – analytic study, which was conducted on those patients ...

Ischemic stroke While fever is harmful in acute stroke, no clinical study showed improved outcome by antipyretic treatment – most likely because of poor antipyretic management [1]. In large ischemic stroke, post-ischemic brain edema and ICP are major therapeutic targets. A limited number of case series indicate feasibility and safety of TH (48 to 72 hours) in large ischemic stroke. However, rew...
متن کاملPerihematomal Edema Is Greater in the Presence of a Spot Sign but Does Not Predict Intracerebral Hematoma Expansion.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Perihematomal edema volume may be related to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume at baseline and, consequently, with hematoma expansion. However, the relationship between perihematomal edema and hematoma expansion has not been well established. We aimed to investigate the relationship among baseline perihematomal edema, the computed tomographic angiography spot sign, he...
