Background And Purpose: Convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) may predict an increased recurrence risk in cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)-related intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) survivors. We aimed to investigate whether cSAH detected on CT was related to early recurrence in patients with ICH related to CAA.

Methods: We analyzed data from consecutive lobar ICH patients diagnosed as probable or possible CAA according to the Boston criteria using the method of cohort study. Demographic and clinical data, ICH recurrence at discharge and within 90 days were collected. The association between cSAH detected on CT and early recurrent ICH was analyzed using multivariable logistic regression.

Results: A total of 197 cases (74 [66-80] years) were included. cSAH was observed on the baseline CT of 91 patients (46.2%). A total of 5.1% (10/197) and 9.5% (17/179) of patients experienced ICH recurrence within 2 weeks and 90 days, respectively. The presence of cSAH was related to recurrence within 2 weeks (OR = 5.705, 95%CI 1.070-30.412, = 0.041) after adjusting for hypertension, previous symptomatic ICH and anticoagulant use. The presence of cSAH was related to recurrence within 90 days (OR 5.473, 95%CI 1.425-21.028, = 0.013) after adjusting for hypertension, previous symptomatic ICH and intraventricular hemorrhage. The similar results were obtained in other models using different methods to select adjusting variables.

Conclusion: In patients with lobar ICH related to CAA, 5.1% and 9.5% of them experienced ICH recurrence within 2 weeks and 90 days, respectively. CT-visible cSAH was detected in 46.2% of patients and indicates an increased risk for early recurrent ICH.

Atraumatic convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (c-SAH) concomitant with large artery atherosclerosis (LAA) stroke has been rarely discussed in the literature. Our aim in this study is to characterize the clinical and neuroradiological features of patients with LAA stroke and c-SAH.A retrospective study from a single institution was performed between January 2016 and June 2020.

Objective: To investigate whether acute convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) detected on CT in lobar intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) related to cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is associated with recurrent ICH.

Methods: We analyzed data from a prospective cohort of consecutive acute lobar ICH survivors fulfilling the Boston criteria for possible or probable CAA who had both brain CT and MRI at index ICH. Presence of cSAH was assessed on CT blinded to MRI data.

A 17-year-old female in a lethargic state with mild dysarthria was transferred to our hospital after experiencing a generalized tonic seizure immediately after giving birth. Head CT showed a cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage(cSAH)in the left frontoparietal convexity. Three-dimensional rotational angiography(3D-RA)revealed multifocal narrowing of the cortical branches of the left middle cerebral artery(MCA)and severe stenosis of the left M1 segment with plexiform collateral networks, suggesting the presence of reversible vasoconstriction syndrome(RCVS)and aplastic or twig-like MCA(Ap/T-MCA).

Background: Cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA) is a common aetiology of convexal subarachnoid haemorrhage (cSAH) but little is known about its specific characteristics in comparison with cSAH from other causes. In this study we compared patients with CAA vs. non-CAA-related cSAH.
