BACKGROUND Dementia occurs in at least 10% of patients within 1 year after stroke. However, the risk of dementia after spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage that accounts for about 15% of all strokes has not been investigated in prospective studies. We aimed to determine the incidence of dementia and risk factors after an intracerebral haemorrhage. METHODS We did a prospective observational c...

PURPOSE To describe the in vivo CT appearance of acute intracerebral blood clots formed from anemic platelet-depleted blood. METHODS Three patients with intracerebral hemorrhage secondary only to thrombocytopenia were examined with CT within 2 1/2 hours after the onset of clinical symptoms. RESULTS There were no unusual CT features found in the intracerebral hemorrhages of patients with onl...

The aim of the study was to analyze the 5-year survival after first-ever ischemic stroke and intracerebral hemorrhage. In this study 836 patients were analyzed with a first-ever stroke admitted at the Department of Neurology Tuzla, Bosnia and Herzegovina, from January 1(st) 1997 to December 31(st) 1998. Of these 613 (73,3%) were ischemic strokes and 223 intracerebral hemorrhages (26,7%) Subarac...

The association between brain damage and respiratory dysfunction has been recognized although mechanistic link between the two is still poorly defined. Intracerebral hemorrhage is accompanied by brain injury, stroke, and parenchymal hematoma formation with surrounding inflammation. Increase intracranial pressure as a result of intracerebral hemorrhage may promote localized activation of cytokin...

Treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage is often pointless, although considerable effort has been devoted to developing treatments for ischemic stroke. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of drugs in improving neurological outcomes with pharmaceutical therapy after intracerebral hemorrhage. The free-radical hypothesis for intracerebral hemorrhage is based on the cytotoxicity ...

To investigate whether calendrical information influences the occurrence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, we statistically compared the incidence of intracerebral hemorrhage for inpatients at Teraoka Memorial Hospital (164 patients), against various calendrical factors such as the day of the week, national holidays, and RokuYo (a recurring six-day series of lucky and unlucky days in the...

The purpose of our study was to determine the frequency and severity of intracerebral hemorrhages and T2 hyperintense white matter lesions (WMLs) following radiation therapy for brain tumors in adult patients. Of 648 adult brain tumor patients who received radiation therapy at our institute, magnetic resonance (MR) image data consisting of a gradient echo (GRE) and FLAIR T2-weighted image were ...

The cestode Multiceps multiceps is well known as a cause of intracerebral cysts in sheep, but there are only three reports of similar human infestation certainly due to this particular parasite (Brumpt, 1936 ; Clapham, 1941 ; Cluver, quoted by Craig and Faust, 1943). The subcutaneous tissues in man have been more frequently involved; there are some eight reports from various continents. The cas...
