Growth Factor According to Rebleeding in Small Volume Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Objectives : Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage(S-ICH) is generally considered to be a mon-ophasic event. But some patients with ICH continued to bleed even after hospitalization. In order to evaluate the rebleeding and growth factor of hematoma in small volume S-ICH, 125 cases of S-ICH were reviewed retrospectively. Methods : We assesed age, sex, initial mental state, location of hemorrhage, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, blood pressure patterns, hematologic profile, trauma and stroke history, alcohol consumption and smoking history. Two subgroups-rebleeding groups versus no rebleeding groups-were compared, in terms of data analysis, with student T-test and chi-square test. Results : Substantial growth in the volume of S-ICH occurred in 21 cases(16.8%)-putamen(7 cases), thalamus(6 cases), subcortex(5 cases), cerebellum(2 cases), pons(1 case)-of the 125 patients. There was no significant difference in any of the parameters except initial systolic blood pressure(p=0.037) when patients with and without rebleeding were compared. Conclusion : The rebleeding and growth of the small volume S-ICH was related to the markedly elevated initial systolic blood pressure(${\geq}180mmHg$) and labile pattern of blood pressure.
