A 45-year-old woman presented with acute onset of headache and confusion. A computed tomography (CT) of the brain showed predominant intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) without significant subarachnoid hemorrhage (Figure 1A and B). A CT angiography showed a laterally oriented, left posterior communicating artery (PCOM) aneurysm (Figure 1C). This aneurysm, confirmed by cerebral angiography (Figure...

Purpose. Primary hemorrhage in the ventricular system without a recognizable parenchymal component is very rare. This single-center retrospective study aimed to further characterize the clinical characteristics and early outcome of this stroke subtype. Methods. All patients with primary intraventricular hemorrhage included in a prospective hospital-based stroke registry over a 19-year period we...

The authors present a rare case of adult moyamoya disease in which a patient experienced rapid progression of cerebral infarction after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). A healthy 39-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with sudden headache, a decreased level of consciousness and mild tetraparesis. Initial magnetic resonance imaging revealed small cerebral infarction and IVH. Although t...

Five adults with primary intraventricular hemorrhage are described. The presenting features included headache, confusion and drowsiness. Focal neurological signs were minimal or absent. All five had a history of hypertension, three patients had bilateral internal carotid occlusion at its origin, one had unilateral occlusion of the left internal carotid artery with severe stenosis of the contral...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several recent studies have suggested that neurosurgical procedures are not contraindicated in patients with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA). The purpose of this study was to elucidate the clinical factors influencing the outcome of patients with CAA-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) treated surgically. METHODS A total of 50 neurosurgical procedures (42 intracere...

Intraventricular meningiomas are uncommon intracranial tumors and infrequently present with hemorrhage. With only 10 reported cases in the literature, it is exceedingly rare for meningiomas of the ventricular system to present with hemorrhage. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a patient presenting with an acute intraventricular hemorrhage in relation to a ventricular meningioma susp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This review focuses on the emerging principles of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) management, emphasizing the natural history and treatment of intraventricular hemorrhage. The translational and clinical findings from recent randomized clinical trials are defined and discussed. Summary of Review- Brain hemorrhage is the most severe of the major stroke subtypes. Extension of...

IMPORTANCE Low-grade periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage is a common neurologic morbidity among extremely low-gestational-age neonates, yet the outcomes associated with this morbidity are not fully understood. In a contemporary multicenter cohort, we evaluated the impact of such hemorrhages on early (18-22 month) neurodevelopmental outcomes of extremely premature infants. OBJECTIVE To...

this study is carried out to determine effective risk factors for early death and their causes in those who died due to intra cerebral hemorrhage within 30 days.materials and methods: from patients who have been admitted in neurologic ward of imam khomeini hospital in tabriz, we enrolled 100 patients with intra cerebral hemorrhage and the causes and risk factors effective in early death were ev...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Few data on xenon computed tomography-based quantitative cerebral blood flow (CBF) in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage have been reported. We correlated perihematomal CBF in a retrospective series of 42 subacute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage patients undergoing xenon computed tomography with in-hospital discharge status and mortality. METHODS We calculated 3 ...
