Contrast Extravasation on Computed Tomography Angiography Predicts Clinical Outcome in Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Abstract

The presence of contrast extravasation on multidetector CT angiography in patients with hyperacute-stage intracerebral hemorrhage is an independent and strong factor associated with poor outcome. Any patient with intracerebral hemorrhage with such sign on multidetector CT angiography should be monitored intensely and treated accordingly.
