How is the classification of intracerebral hemorrhage?
The classification of intracerebral hemorrhage is according to its primary or secondary causes. More than 50% of primary intracerebral hemorrhage is due to uncontrolled hypertension.
What is the most common etiology of non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in the elderly patient?
uncontrolled arterial hypertension is the most common cause of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhages in the elderly patient.
According to their locations, how is the division of hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage?
Based on their locations, hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage may have the following division: basal ganglia hemorrhage, thalamic hemorrhage, pontine hemorrhage, cerebellar hemorrhage
What are Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms?
Charcot-Bouchard aneurysms are microaneurysms of perforating arteries, found in lenticulostriate arteries, in the pons and cerebellum, which may occur in patients with long-standing uncontrolled hypertension.
Which points have prognostic implications in intracerebral hemorrhage?
The following points have prognostic implications in intracerebral hemorrhage, so they should be included in a report: location, size/volume, shape, density, presence or absence of intraventricular hemorrhage, presence or absence of hydrocephalus, presence or absence of CTA spot sign and presence or absence of a vascular malformation.
Acute left thalamic hematoma, which measures 1.9 x 2.4 x 2.9 cm, with a volume of 6.8 cc. The blood demonstrates the central isointense signal and peripheral hyperintensity on T1W images, indicating methemoglobin, which represents the early subacute phase. There is associated hypointense T2* rim from hemosiderin and ferritin deposition. The small edema surrounding the hematoma exhibits high signals in the T2W. There is no intraventricular hemorrhage or hydrocephalus.
