Abstract:
Objective To analyze the CT findings and mechanisms of intracranial hemorrhage complicating infective endocarditis(IE).Methods The clinical materials of 5 cases with intracranial hemorrhage complicating IE were collected. Unenhanced CT was performed in all cases. Results Intracranial hemorrhage complicating IE included parenchymal hematomas, subarachnoid hemorrhages and hemorrhagic infarcts. Parenchymal hematomas could be sporadic or multiple and were all located in cortical or subcortical regions. Conclusion Perfectly understanding the mechanisms of the intracranial hemorrhage complicating IE is helpful to understand its CT findings and helpful for etiological diagnosis .
