Study on computed tomography images in intraventricular hemorrhage

ABSTRACT

Study on 86 patients with intraventricular hemorrhage among 201 hemorrhagic stroke patients treated at Central Military Hospital 108, Friendship Hospital, and Hospital No 103. Results: in primary intraventricular hemorrhage 85.7% of patients had hemorrhage in whole cerebroventricular system; severity severe 50%, moderate 28.6%, mild 21.4%; 64.3% patients suffered from complication of cerebroventricular dilatation. In secondary intraventricular hemorrhage 23.6% of patients had hemorrhage in whole cerebroventricular system, 34.7% patients with unilateral hemorrhage and 26.4% patients with bilateral hemorrhage; severity severe 59.7%, moderate 31.9%, and mild 8.3%; 48.6% patients had complication of cerebroventricular dilatation. This complication occurred in 53.8% patients with thalamus hemorrhage, 41.9% patients with hemorrhage of corpus striatum-interior capsule, and 37.5% patients with lobar hemorrhage. 13.9% patients had hematoma volume more than 60cm3 and 17.7% of hematomas caused grade III of space-occupying hematoma.
