Recent advances in spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage

Ravi Garg, José Biller, Ravi Garg, José Biller

Abstract

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a stroke subtype associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The purpose of this review is to provide an update on important research on ICH over the past three years. Topics covered include risk factors, imaging predictors of hematoma expansion, scoring schema to predict hematoma expansion, hemostatic therapies, acute blood pressure lowering, intraventricular administration of alteplase for intraventricular hemorrhage, and the current status of surgical therapies.

Keywords: antithrombotic reversal; blood pressure lowering; deompressive hemicraniectomy; hematoma expansion; intracerebral hemorrhage; intraventricular alteplase.
