Abstract

Hematoma expansion (HE) is an independent predictor of poor outcome and secondary neurological deterioration in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Noncontrast computed tomography (NCCT) may identify the sites of active extravasation. Therefore, we have attempted to (1) devise a reliable and easy-to-use prediction score to predict the risk of HE in ICH and (2) validate the accuracy of this grading system and perform an independent analysis of HE predictors. We included patients in whom an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) occurred in the basal ganglia between Jan. 2015 and Jan. 2018. These patients had undergone a baseline CT scan at Qinghai Provincial People's Hospital within 24 hours after the onset of ICH symptoms. Two observers independently assessed the presence of the island sign, blend sign, or swirl sign on an NCCT scan during patient selection. Patients underwent a baseline NCCT scan and 24-hour NCCT follow-up for analysis of HE. The accuracy of this grading system was assessed. Independent predictors of HE were identified using multivariable regression. Of 266 patients with ICH, 61 (22.93%) presented with the island sign, 63 (23.68%) presented with the blend sign, and 50 (1...Continue Reading

Basal Ganglia

Basal Ganglia are a group of subcortical nuclei in the brain associated with control of voluntary motor movements, procedural and habit learning, emotion, and cognition. Here is the latest research.
