Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) initiates a secondary injury cascade inducing perihematomal edema development within 3 hours from symptom onset. 1 Perihematomal edema increases over time by ≈100% of absolute volume within the first 24 hours.2 However, the relationship among perihematomal edema, ICH volume, and hematoma expansion has not been well established.Background and Purpose-Perihematomal edema volume may be related to intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) volume at baseline and, consequently, with hematoma expansion. However, the relationship between perihematomal edema and hematoma expansion has not been well established. We aimed to investigate the relationship among baseline perihematomal edema, the computed tomographic angiography spot sign, hematoma expansion, and clinical outcome in patients with acute ICH. Methods-Predicting Hematoma Growth and Outcome in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Using Contrast Bolus CT (PREDICT) was a prospective observational cohort study of ICH patients presenting within 6 hours from onset. Patients underwent computed tomography and computed tomographic angiography scans at baseline and 24-hour computed tomography scan. A post hoc analysis of absolute perihematomal edema and relative perihematomal edema (absolute perihematomal edema divided by ICH) volumes was performed on baseline computed tomography scans (n=353). Primary outcome was significant hematoma expansion (>6 mL or >33%). Secondary outcomes were early neurological deterioration, 90-day mortality, and poor outcome. Results-Absolute perihematomal edema volume was higher in spot sign patients (24.5 [11.5-41.8
