Abstract:
Objective To investigate the hemodynamic changes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) using CT perfusion (CTP) imaging and the relation between cerebral perfusion and the Scandinavian Stroke Scale (SSS) of the patients. Methods Forty-one patients with supratentorial ICH underwent plain CT scanning and CTP imaging at different times after ICH onset (from 5 h to 14 days). The impact of the time after ICH onset, hematoma volume, edema area, mean hlood pressure (MBP) and blood glucose on the hemodynamics of the patients was assessed, and the correlation between the SSS and the hemodynamic changes evaluated. Resnlts The cerebral blood flow in the edema area (CBF1), the peripheral area of the edema (CBF2, within 1 cm to the edema) and the distant cortical area from the hematoma (CBF3) showed significant differences (r=0.027, P=0.870) and fluctuated with time. CBF1 showed a positive linear relation with CBF2 (r=0.334, P=0.035), but neither of them was correlated to CBF3 (r=0.027, P=0.870;r=0.142, P=0.383). CBF1 also showed positive linear relations with relative cerebral blood volume (rCBV1) (r=0.803,P=0.000) and the peak time (PT1) (r=-0.52, P=0.752). The reduction of CBF1 was inversely correlated to the hematoma volume and the edema area (r=-0.501, P=0.001;r=-0.589, P=0.000), but not related with MBP or blood glucose (r=0.141, P=0.386;r=0.014, P=0.930). The area of ischemic injury (the ischemic area defined by CBF parameters-the hematoma area, edema area (r=0.449, P=0.003;r=0.645, P=0.000), but not to the MBP or blood glucose (r=-0.047, P=0.769;r=0.141,P=0.378). SSS was found to correlate to the volume and location of the hematoma and the reduction of CBF and CBV (r=-0.418, P=0.007;r=0.542, P=0.000;r=0.376, P=0.017;r=0.312, P=0.050), but not to the ischemic and edema area (r=-0.283, P=0.073;r=-0.163, P=0.308). Conclusion CBF is reduced in the edema area, peripheral area of the edema and the distant cortical area from the hematoma but showing different patterns of variation. Ischemic injury is present in the edema area around the hemotema, and its scope and severity is related with the hemotoma volume and the size of the edema area and may vary with time. The location and volume of the hematoma as well as the perfusion level in the edema area all affect the SSS of the patients.
