II. Background

  1. Refers to Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
  2. Trauma also causes Intracerebral Hemorrhage

III. Epidemiology

  1. Responsible for up to 15% of strokes in United States

IV. Pathophysiology

  1. Associated with small vessel Cerebrovascular Disease
  2. Most commonly affects the Basal Ganglia and Thalamus

V. Causes: Common

  1. Hypertension
    1. Most common cause in adults with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage
  2. Cerebral amyloid angiopathy
    1. Most common cause of non-Traumatic lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage in older patients
  3. Arteriovenous Malformations (AVM)
    1. Most common cause of Intracerebral Hemorrhage in children

VI. Causes: Other

  1. Septic cerebral embolism
  2. Intracranial Mass
  3. Anticoagulants or Thrombolytics
  4. Venous sinus thrombosis
  5. Encephalitis (e.g. HSV Encephalitis)
  6. Stimulant Drugs of Abuse (e.g. Cocaine, Methamphetamine)

VII. Risk Factors:

  1. Strenuous activity
  2. Oral Anticoagulants (especially Warfarin)
  3. Hypertension
  4. Heavy Alcohol use
  5. Increasing age
    1. Risk doubles every 10 years after age 35 years

VIII. Symptoms

  1. Severe Headache
  2. Vomiting
  3. Decreased Level of Consciousness

IX. Signs

  1. Focal and gradually progressive presentation of neurologic deficits developing over minutes to hours

X. Precautions

  1. Cerebellar bleeding can rapidly deteriorate

XI. Management

  1. Similar overall management as for Subarachnoid Hemorrhage
  2. Opioid Analgesics for Headache may help to control Blood Pressure
  3. Differences with SAH management
    1. Aneurysm specific management does not apply to Intracerebral Hemorrhage
    2. Blood Pressure target in ICH appears to be <180 mmHg (instead of <140 target used for SAH)
      1. Control Blood Pressure while still maintaining Cerebral Perfusion Pressure
      2. Labetalol and Nicardipine are most often used to control Blood Pressure

XII. Prognosis

  1. Higher mortality with decreasing alertness on presentation

Ontology: Cerebral Hemorrhage (C2937358)

Definition (NCI_FDA) Hemorrhage into the cerebrum. See also Stroke Syndrome.(CDRH)
Definition (NCI) Bleeding within the cerebrum.
Definition (CSP) bleeding or escape of blood into a cerebral hemisphere of the brain, including lobar, subcortical white matter, and basal ganglia hemorrhages.
Definition (MSH) Bleeding into one or both CEREBRAL HEMISPHERES including the BASAL GANGLIA and the CEREBRAL CORTEX. It is often associated with HYPERTENSION and CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA.
