Abstract:
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH) accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of stroke patients. The key factor affecting the prognosis of sICH is whether the initial hematoma volume and hematoma enlarge. Current research indicates that sICH is a common disease caused by rupture of small blood vessels with poor prognosis. More than 30% of patients have persistent bleeding after the first onset, indicating that the disease is a dynamic process. This persistent bleeding, also known as hematoma expansion (HE), is an independent predictor of neurological deterioration and poor prognosis. This article reviews the research progress of CT image features and specific imaging findings on CTA in predicting HE in patients with sICH.
