“…CEIHs have been reported to involve the hemispheric convexity, the basal ganglia, and the cerebellum [ 7 - 9 ]. Although they are more commonly seen in adults [ 10 ], pediatric cases have also been described [ 11 ]. These hematomas can be clinically indolent and paucisymptomatic or present with slowly progressing neurological symptoms due to recurrent bleeding within the hematoma capsule.…”

We present a very rare case of chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma involving the septum pellucidum and the foramen of Monro that by location radiological appearance, and clinical history was mimicking a recurrent astrocytoma or a shunt-related foreign body granuloma. A young adult underwent the resection of a juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma as a child, and with a mass encasing the tip of an old non-functioning ventricular catheter, the differential diagnosis of shunt-related foreign body granuloma versus recurrent low-grade glioma was raised. Although chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematomas have been reported in the literature, the anatomical location of the lesion in the presented case was unique, with radiological and history findings also posing a peculiar diagnostic challenge. Chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematomas are benign entities that may also be found to involve deep and midline supratentorial structures usually not prone to spontaneous intraparenchymal hemorrhages. When symptomatic, surgical resection of the hematoma can be both diagnostic and curative.

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.

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.

Ruptured chronic encapsulated intracerebral hematoma in infancy: review of the literature with a case report

Abstract: Chronic EICH in infants is extremely rare in the literature. Only two cases have been previously reported. One of the cases reported in the literature was supratentorial and the other was infratentorial.
