“…The reason of recurrent or repeated bleedings of CEIH is still unknown, and it is reported that cavernoma or vascular malformation has been histologically identified as the cause of bleeding in 30% to 46% of cases. 3 History of trauma is also reported to be associated with CEIH formation. However, most patients with CEIH have no identified etiology.…”

Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma is a rare disease characterized by progressive neurological deficit accompanied with ring-enhancing intracranial mass lesion. A 43-year-old woman presented with weakness over bilateral lower limbs over days. Computed tomography of the brain showed a hypodense parenchymal lesion over the left frontal lobe with mass effect. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed the presence of a peripheral hyperdense with central isointense parenchymal lesion on T1-weighted and T2-weighed images, with surrounding brain edema. The patient underwent craniotomy for excision of lesion under the preoperative impression of brain tumor. The pathologic report was hemorrhagic infarction with marked gliosis. This report highlights that chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma is similar to brain tumor in clinical expression and neuroimaging appearance.

Background:Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma (CEIH) is one type of intracerebral hematoma that sometimes grows progressively while forming a capsule and presenting with neurological deficits. Although many cases of CEIH have been reported, correct preoperative diagnosis is very difficult. Only around 20% of cases are diagnosed preoperatively.Case Description:We encountered three cases of CEIH in which causes were unidentified and difficult to diagnose. All three cases were treated surgically. In the first case, a 59-year-old male was diagnosed preoperatively with metastatic brain tumor. In the second case, a 62-year-old female was diagnosed preoperatively with glioblastoma. The third case involved a 58-year-old female diagnosed preoperatively with CEIH.Conclusion:We should keep in mind that CEIH is a differential diagnosis for intracerebral space-occupying lesions. This report describes these three cases and discusses imaging findings and characteristics of CEIH.

“…CEIH is a special type of intracerebral hematoma described for the first time in 1981, 10) with about 50 cases reported. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12]14,16,[18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][31][32][33][34][35][36] Compared with normal intracerebral hemorrhage, CEIH is characterized by early age of onset and rare complication by hypertension, and almost all such lesions have developed beneath the cerebral cortex. 12) Headaches and seizures are the most common earliest symptoms.…”

An 80-year-old male presented with a chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma (CEIH) with surrounding edema under the right frontal lobe manifesting as slow exacerbation of disturbance of orientation and gait. He had a history of cerebral infarction with an asymptomatic cavernous angioma in the right frontal lobe. The CEIH was diagnosed as bleeding from the cavernous angioma, and surgical removal was performed. The hematoma was chronic and covered by a thick capsule. In addition, mass tissue covered with the organized hematoma was found near the capsule, which was excised and found to be a cavernous angioma. CEIH is a special type of intracerebral hemorrhage, and bleeding from a cavernous angioma is occasionally seen. CEIH should be considered in the case of a hemorrhagic intracranial lesion with a chronic, progressive course with capsule formation and edema around the lesion. The source of bleeding is unknown in about half of the reported cases, and occult vascular malformation may be involved, necessitating care in diagnosis.
