Edinburgh criteria for lobar intracerebral hemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy
The Edinburgh criteria were proposed in 2018 in order to diagnose lobar intracerebral hemorrhage associated with cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) 1. They can potentially be used to rule CAA-associated lobar hemorrhage either in or out, but require external validation in other patient population...

PHASES risk prediction score
The PHASES risk prediction score is a method of calculating the absolute 5-year risk of intracranial aneurysm rupture based on the data pooled from prospective cohort studies in the USA, Canada, Netherlands, Finland and Japan1. PHASES stands for: Population, Hypertension, Age, Size, Earlier suba...

Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome
Reversible cerebral vasoconstriction syndrome (RCVS) is a group of conditions with a common clinical and radiologic presentation. It is characterized by thunderclap headache and reversible vasoconstriction of the cerebral arteries.
Terminology
Numerous and varied terms have been used to descri...
Article
Terson syndrome
Terson syndrome refers to intraocular hemorrhage in patients with intracranial hemorrhage.
Terminology
The traditional definition of Terson syndrome was vitreous hemorrhage associated with subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, there is also a broader definition which captures intraocular hemorrhag...
Article
Vertebral artery dissection
Vertebral artery dissection, like arterial dissection elsewhere, is a result of blood entering the media through a tear in the intima of the vertebral artery. It is potentially lethal and can be difficult to diagnose clinically and radiologically.
Epidemiology
Vertebral artery dissections have...
Article
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a cerebrovascular disorder caused by the accumulation of cerebral amyloid-β (Aβ) in the tunica media and adventitia of leptomeningeal and cortical vessels of the brain. The resultant vascular fragility tends to manifest in normotensive elderly patients as lob...
Article
Subpial hemorrhage
Subpial hemorrhage is a rare form of extra-axial intracranial hemorrhage defined as hemorrhage between the cortical surface and the pia mater. It is an entity that is generally difficult to distinguish from subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Epidemiology
Subpial hemorrhage has been typically described i...
Article
Intraventricular hemorrhage
Intraventricular hemorrhage denotes the presence of blood within the cerebral ventricular system. It is associated with significant morbidity due to the risk of obstructive hydrocephalus.
It can be divided into primary or secondary, with primary hemorrhage being far less common than secondary:...
Article
Ruptured saccular aneurysm
Ruptured saccular (berry) aneurysms usually result in subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) but can, depending on the location of the rupture and presence of adhesions to the aneurysm, also result in cerebral hematoma, subdural hematoma, and/or intraventricular hemorrhage.
Epidemiology
Saccuar aneurys...
Article
Cortical superficial siderosis
Cortical superficial siderosis (cSS) refers to deposition of hemosiderin along the leptomeninges and subpial surfaces, localized to the cortical sulci, as a sequela of convexal subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Terminology
Cortical superficial siderosis is a supratentorial pathology and should not be c...
Article
Boston criteria 2.0 for cerebral amyloid angiopathy
The Boston criteria 2.0 were proposed in 2022 in order to better include leptomeningeal and white matter characteristics into the diagnoses of probable and possible cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) 1. They consist of combined clinical, imaging and pathological parameters, and are based upon the...
Article
Jet hematoma
A jet or flame-shaped hemorrhage is a term sometimes used to describe an intraparenchymal hematoma adjacent to a ruptured arterial vascular malformation, such as aneurysms (most common) or dural arteriovenous fistulae or arteriovenous malformations 1,2. It usually is seen in combination with sub...
Article
Delayed cerebral ischemia
Delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) is a frequent complication of subarachnoid hemorrhage. It contributes substantially to the morbidity and mortality following subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is defined as symptomatic vasospasm related to subarachnoid hemorrhage or cerebral infarction demonstrated on i...
Article
Saccular cerebral aneurysm
Saccular cerebral aneurysms, also known as berry aneurysms, are intracranial aneurysms with a characteristic rounded shape. They account for the vast majority of intracranial aneurysms and are the most common cause of non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
Terminology
Those larger than 25 mm i...
Article
Intracranial hemorrhage
Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is a collective term encompassing many different conditions characterized by the extravascular accumulation of blood within different intracranial spaces. A simple categorization is based on location:
intra-axial hemorrhage
intracerebral hemorrhage
basal ganglia ...
Article
Transcranial Doppler sonography (ultrasound)
Transcranial Doppler (TCD), also known as transcranial color-coded duplex sonography (TCCS) is a sonographic study of intracranial structures and blood vessels, used most commonly to identify the hemodynamic state present in the vertebrobasilar circulation and the circle of Willis.
Termin...
Article
Neurocandidiasis
Neurocandidiasis results from disseminated infection of the central nervous system by the fungus Candida albicans, usually manifesting as cerebral microabscesses and meningitis.
Epidemiology
CNS disease is thought to occur in up to 52% of patients with disseminated candidiasis, but predominate...
