ICH Flashcards
2nd common form of the Strok
Infarction vs ICH ( hemorrhagic )
Ischemic deficit max at onset
ICH smooth progressive and ⬆️ BP ( within 3 hr )
⬆️ morbidity and mortality
⬆️ volume hematoma
Anticoagulant
⬆️ troponin
⬆️ RBS
Spot sign on CT
When enlargement happen
Early first 3 hr
Target BP
If > 150 mmhg reduce to 140
Surgery ICH supratentorial
⬇️ ICU stay and mortality ( GCS 7-10 within < 8 hr from the bleeding) , edema , rebleeding
STICH 2 > benefits 1cm from the cortex
Indication ➡️ patients in coma, or
large ICH with significant midline shift,
or elevated ICP refractory to medical management: decompressive craniectomy (DC) with or without ICH evacuation may reduce mortality
Infra tentorium
Neurological deterioration or compression brainsteam , obstructive hydrocephalus
🚫 EVD CI
RF ICH
Age. > 55
Men
Previous Strok
Alcohol 🍷 moderate within 24 hr or chronic 3*/d ➡️➡️ lobar ICH
Smoking 🚫 ⬆️ risk ICH but ⬆️ SAH , Strok
Drug use
Liver dysfunction
Location Of ICH
MCC feeder ::
1-lenticulostriates: the source of putaminal hemorrhages M1
2- thalamoperforators
3-paramedian branches of BA
4-IVH ➡️ worse outcome
Lobar ICH
Associated structural abnormalities
More common alcohol 🍺
More benign than BG -ICH
Causes
- extension of deep hemorrhage
- CAA
- Truma
-Hemorrhageic transformation
- hemorrhagic tumors
- CM , AVM
- anurysum
Idopathic
MCC cause of ICH in elderly
CAA
Causes of ICH 13
1 - HTN
2- acute ⬆️ CBF ; endarterectomy,repaire CHF , Strok ( within 1st month ) ,migarian , NPPB after SVM , extension .
3 - vascular a anomalies; AVM , anurysum ➡️ fibrosis on prevouse bleeding 🩸 ➡️ ICH > SAH
Venous angioma
4- arteriopathies; CAA , fibrioniod necrosis , lipohyalinosis, arteritis
5- brain tumors
6- coagulation or clotting disorde➡️ leukemia, TTP , anticoagulant post tPA ( within 36 hr and high dose > 100 mg ) , ASA ( 🚫⬆️risk in age > 60 )p with GCS 9 )
7- Infection fungal MCC , granuloma , HSV
8- venous sinus thrombosis
9- drugs related ; alcohol , drugs abuse , or alph adenrgic > epinephrine
10- postrumatic
11- pregnancy 🤰🏼 postpartum e 6 wks , postpartum ICH range 8 ds- 1 month
12- post op endarterectomy, craniotomy , NPPB post AVM
13 idopathic
Hemorrhagic transformation
Type 1 diffuse or multi focal within the boundaries of Strok , less hyper dens on VT
Type 2 extensive , univocal ,hyper dense outside the Strok boundaries associated with anticoagulant, happened within few days after Strok ➡️ worse prognosis
Cerebellar hemorrhage MCC
2/3 of ICH is HTN
Microaneurysms of Charcot-Bouchard AKA miliary aneurysm
cur primarily at bifurcation of small (< 300 mcm) perforating branches of lateral lenticulostriate arteries in BG ➡️ BG bleed 🩸
CAA Cerebral) amyloid angiopathy
beta amyloid protein accumulation in ➡️ birefringent “apple -🍏 green stain
Recurrent ICH lobar
DX ➡️➡️ MRI GRE , SWI hemosidrien and micro bleed 🩸
Common after 70s
apolipoprotein E ε4 allele assoscated CAA and Alzheimer’s disease
Definitely dx by biopsy
Dx by Boston criteria ;
Malignant tumors cause ICH 3
GBM
, lymphoma
METS ( choriocarcinoma➡️ melanoma➡️RCC ➡️ BLCA )
Benign tumor cause ICH 6
Meningioma
hemangioblastoma
oligodendroglioma
PitNET/adenoma
vestibular schwannoma
- cerebellar astrocytoma
Risk of hemorrhage after anticoagulant
cumulative risk of a fatal hemorrhage was 1% at 1 year and 2% at 3 yrs.
Risk of ICH ⬆️ increase prolonged use and PT in the 1 st 3 months
