The pathogenesis of delayed cerebral edema after intracerebral hemorrhage is still unclear. In this case report, we speculate that the formation subdural effusion or associated with edema. By referring to treatment plan chronic hematoma, adding dexamethasone routine medication, certain therapeutic effect has been achieved. Dexamethasone may maintain stability blood-brain barrier by directly inc...

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 ...

Promoting hematoma absorption is a novel therapeutic strategy for intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); however, the mechanism of hematoma absorption is unclear. The present study explored the function and potential mechanism of CD36 in hematoma absorption using in vitro and in vivo ICH models. Hematoma absorption in CD36-deficient ICH patients was examined. Compared with patients with normal CD36 ex...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE A simple estimation method of intracerebral hematoma volume known as XYZ/2 method has been described previously. This method has also been shown to be valid for the estimation of acute subdural hematoma volume. However, chronic subdural hematomas differ in shape and extension from acute subdural hematomas, which makes the validity of the same method in the estimation of h...

Rapid reduction of a large acute subdural hematoma has been frequently reported. In my knowledge, however, it was rarely reported that rapid spontaneous reduction occurred in large volume of spontaneous intracerebral hematoma (sICH). We describe a patient with a rapid spontaneous decrease in the volume of a large hematoma. A 73-year-old man presented semi-comatose mentality. Initial brain compu...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The association between elevated blood pressure (BP) and hematoma enlargement in acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has not been clarified. We investigated the association between maximum systolic BP (SBP) and hematoma enlargement, measuring SBP between a baseline and a second CT scan in patients with hypertensive ICH. METHODS We assessed 76 consecutive patients with ...

Early hematoma enlargement and delayed clot lysis contribute to brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We investigated hematoma growth, clot lysis, and brain edema formation in patients with spontaneous ICH. A total of 17 spontaneous ICH patients who received regular medication were chosen for this study. All patients had their first CT scan within 5 hours of onset of symptoms (day ...

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...
