Table 1 Etiology and most common locations of ICH [21]
From: The puzzle of spontaneous versus traumatic intracranial hemorrhages
Etiology | Most frequent ICH locations |
|---|---|
Hypertensive bleed | External capsule of the putamen, pons, thalamus, cerebellum, and intraventricular extension from lobar white matter bleeding |
Cerebral amyloid angiopathy | Lobar, cortical, or subcortical hemorrhage |
Hemorrhagic ischemic stroke | Cortex and basal ganglia |
Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage | Posterior communicating artery (PCA), anterior communicating artery (ACA), middle cerebral artery trifurcation, basilar tip, and PICA (posterior inferior cerebellar artery) |
Cerebrovascular malformations: arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF), cavernous malformations, and dural venous anomalies | Cavernous sinus, posterior fossa |
Venous thrombosis | Posterior temporal, parasagittal frontal, and parietal lobes |
Neoplasm hemorrhages | Depends on tumor location. |
Anticoagulant therapy | Supratentorial and intraparenchymal |
