Abstract
Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a common subtype of stroke and places a great burden on the family and society with a high mortality and disability rate and a poor prognosis. Many findings from imaging and pathologic studies have suggested that cerebral ischemic lesions visualized on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) in patients with ICH are not rare and are generally considered to be associated with poor outcome, increased risk of recurrent (ischemic and hemorrhagic) stroke, cognitive impairment, and death. In this review, we describe the changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF) and DWI lesions after ICH and discuss the risk factors and possible mechanisms related to the occurrence of DWI lesions, such as cerebral microangiopathy, cerebral atherosclerosis, aggressive early blood pressure lowering, hyperglycemia, and inflammatory response. We also point out that a better understanding of cerebral DWI lesions will be a key step toward potential therapeutic interventions to improve long-term recovery for patients with ICH.

Delayed perihematomal hypoperfusion is associated with poor outcome in intracerebral haemorrhage. Eur J Clin Invest 2022; 52:e13696. [PMID: 34706061 DOI: 10.1111/eci.13696] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/15/2021] [Revised: 09/16/2021] [Accepted: 10/11/2021] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to characterize the temporal evolution and prognostic significance of perihematomal perfusion in acute intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH). METHODS A single-centre prospective cohort of patients with primary spontaneous ICH receives computed tomography perfusion (CTP) within 6 h from onset (T0) and at 7 days (T7). Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV) and mean transit time (MTT) were measured in the manually outlined perihematomal low-density area. Poor functional prognosis (modified Rankin Scale 3-6) at 90 days was the outcome of interest, and predictors were explored with multivariable logistic regression. RESULTS A total of 150 patients were studied, of whom 52 (34.7%) had a mRS 3-6 at 90 days. Perihematomal perfusion decreased from T0 to T7 in all patients, but the magnitude of CBF and CBV reduction was larger in patients with unfavourable outcome (median CBF change -7.8 vs. -6.0 ml/100 g/min, p < .001, and median CBV change -0.5 vs. -0.4 ml/100 g, p = .010, respectively). This finding remained significant after adjustment for confounders (odds ratio [OR] for 1 ml/100 g/min CBF reduction: 1.33, 95% confidence interval [CI] (1.15-1.55), p < .001; OR for 0.1 ml/100 g CBV reduction: 1.67, 95% CI 1.18-2.35, p = .004). The presence of CBF < 20 ml/100 g/min at T7 was then demonstrated as an independent predictor of poor functional outcome (adjusted OR: 2.45, 95% CI 1.08-5-54, p = .032). CONCLUSION Perihaemorrhagic hypoperfusion becomes more severe in the days following acute ICH and is independently associated with poorer outcome. Understanding the underlying biological mechanisms responsible for delayed decrease in perihematomal perfusion is a necessary step towards outcome improvement in patients with ICH.

Abstract
Stroke has become the second leading cause of death in people aged higher than 60 years, with cancer being the first. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most lethal type of stroke. Using imaging techniques to evaluate the evolution of intracranial hematomas in patients with hemorrhagic stroke is worthy of ongoing research. The difficulty in obtaining ultra-early imaging data and conducting intensive dynamic radiographic imaging in actual clinical settings has led to the application of experimental animal models to assess the evolution of intracranial hematomas. Herein, we review the current knowledge on primary intracerebral hemorrhage mechanisms, focus on the progress of animal studies related to hematoma development and secondary brain injury, introduce preclinical therapies, and summarize related challenges and future directions.
