Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma (CEIH) is a rare cerebrovascular disease that behaves as a slowly expanding lesion with a gradual onset. It is well established that CEIH is associated with arteriovenous malformations; however, CEIH associated with cavernous malformation (CM) is extremely rare. We herein report a case of CEIH associated with CM, and discuss its pathogenesis. A 12-yea...

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 i...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE There are limited data on the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise in acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients. We tested the hypotheses that BBB compromise measured with permeability-surface area product (PS) is increased in the perihematoma region and predicts perihematoma edema growth in acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients. METHODS Patients were randomiz...

Sildenafil is a drug used in the treatment of male impotence. Few cases of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage following the use of sildenafil have been cited in the literature. A 42-year-old man was admitted to the emergency outpatient clinic of İstanbul Educational and Research Hospital after sudden loss of consciousness. He had ingested alcohol, taken 50mg sildenafil and had sexual intercou...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The intracerebral hemorrhage drainage through minimally invasive approach is emerging as an alternative for traditional craniotomy, due to its improved survival rate and reduced complication rate. In this study, we investigated the feasibility and safety of a flat detector CT-based puncture planning and navigation system for minimally invasive hematoma drainage on patient...

OBJECTIVE To compare the outcome after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma when the drain is placed in subdural space or subgaleal space. STUDY DESIGN Quasi experimental study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Combined Military Hospital, Lahore, from July 2015 to June 2016. METHODOLOGY Patients with chronic subdural hematoma of both genders and age, ranging between 55 to 85 years, were inclu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Treatment of intracerebral hematoma (ICH) is controversial. An advantage of neurosurgical intervention over conservative treatment of ICH has not been established. Recent reports suggest a favorable effect of stereotactic blood clot removal after liquefaction by means of a plasminogen activator. The SICHPA trial was aimed at investigating the efficacy of this treatment. ...

Giant cerebral cavernoma is a rare malformation classified as a brain occult vascular lesion. We report a case of initially misdiagnosed giant cavernous angioma revealed by a spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. A 40-year-old woman was admitted with right hemiplegia and altered consciousness occurring 3 days prior to presentation. A non-contrast CT scan showed a left parietal gross hematoma, a...

Comparative studies of muscle tissue and liver pigs recovered from intracerebral hematoma were carried out using proteomics histology methods. The absence pathological changes in the muscles animals during accumulation proteins with molecular weights 70 to 15 kDa limbs, 50 20 back was established. At same time, destructive structure convalescents revealed masses less than kDa. Thus, it has been...

Letter by Murai Regarding Article, “Leakage Sign for Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Novel Predictor of Hematoma Growth” To the Editor: We read the article by Orito et al on the predictability of contrast extravasation and hematoma expansion through the use of computed tomographic angiography (CTA) phase and delayed phase CT with great interest. Previously, we explored indicators of hematom...
