Purpose: The pathophysiological determinants of irregular intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) shape are unclear. We aimed at characterizing the relationship between perihematomal perfusion and ICH shape.
Methods: A single-center cohort of patients with primary ICH was analyzed. Patients underwent computed tomography perfusion within 6 h from onset. Cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and mean transit time (MTT) were calculated in the manually outlined perihematomal low-density region. ICH shape was rated on baseline non-contrast CT following international consensus criteria, and predictors of irregular shape were explored with logistic regression.
Results: A total of 150 patients were included, of whom 66 (44%) had irregular shape. Perihematomal CBF was lower in irregular ICH (median 23 vs 35 mL/100 g/min, p<0.001). CBF<20 mL/100 g/min was independently associated with irregular shape (odds ratio 9.67, 95% CI 2.42-38.69, p=0.001).
Conclusion: Our findings suggest that perihematomal hypoperfusion may contribute to the CT appearance of acute ICH.

Perihematomal hypoperfusion may lead to ischemic damage during intraparenchymal cerebral hemorrhage (ICH), resulting in worse prognosis. We aimed to (1) investigate the relationship between serum biomarkers related to oxidative stress and vasoactive substances and the occurrence of hypoperfusion and ischemic perihematomal lesions in ICH and (2) evaluate their correlation with the volumetric evolution of the hematoma and perihematomal edema. We enrolled 28 patients affected by ICH.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to explore how perihematomal oligemia changes over time in patients with acute intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), which is bleeding within the brain.
- Researchers analyzed data from 150 patients by using imaging to assess blood flow around the hemorrhage at three different time points: immediately at the onset, after 24 hours, and after 7 days.
- Results showed that a significant portion of patients with initial oligemia (47.3%) progressed to ischemia by day 7, indicating that perihematomal oligemia is not as harmless as previously thought and is linked to poorer outcomes.

Background And Purpose: Perihematomal edema (PHE) represents the secondary brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, neurobiological characteristics of post-ICH parenchymal injury other than PHE volume have not been fully characterized. Using intravoxel incoherent motion imaging (IVIM), we explored the clinical correlates of PHE diffusion and (micro)perfusion metrics in subacute ICH.

Purpose: To study the value of 3.0T magnetic resonance imaging with diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and 3D-arterial spin labeling (ASL) perfusion imaging in the diagnosis of the crossed cerebellar diaschisis (CCD) after the unilateral supratentorial subacute cerebral hemorrhage.
Methods: Fifty-eight patients with the unilateral supratentorial subacute cerebral hemorrhage who underwent diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), 3D-arterial spin labeling (ASL), and conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanning were enrolled.

Cerebral blood volume mapping can characterize hemodynamic changes within brain tissue, particularly after stroke. This study aims to quantify blood volume changes in the perihematomal parenchyma and pericavity parenchyma after minimally invasive intracerebral hemorrhage evacuation (MIS for ICH). Thirty-two patients underwent MIS for ICH with pre- and post-operative CT imaging and intraoperative perfusion imaging (DynaCT PBV Neuro, Artis Q, Siemens).
