Aspects of intracerebral hematomas - an update

Abstract: Advances in diagnosis, prognosis, pathophysiology, and treatment over the past few decades have significantly advanced our knowledge of ICH; however, much work still needs to be carried out. Future genetic and epidemiologic studies will help identify at-risk populations and hopefully allow for primary prevention. Randomized controlled studies focusing on novel therapeutics should help to minimize secondary injury and hopefully improve morbidity and mortality.

“…There have been speculations about the etiology of the expansion, viz. whether there occur repeated small hemorrhages or there is a continuous oozing [9]. Expansion of an ICH generally follows the general 'rule of thumb,' and the larger the hematoma at presentation, the more likely it is to expand [10].…”

“…The long-term prognosis for the survivors is not very encouraging with less than 30% of patients being independent at 3 months of the ICH ictus [6]. The goals of management therefore include prevention of further brain injury by deterring hematoma expansion, restricting edema and to atempt recruiting the brain's plasticity to improve the rehabilitation outcome [9]. Prehospital management is vital and primarily consists of ventilator and cardiovascular support and transporting the patient to the nearest available stroke unit [9,13].…”
