Co-existence of unruptured cerebral aneurysms in patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage

摘要

Objective. Primary hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (PICH) is caused by a rupture of a small endartery, and diagnosis is made either by computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Vascular abnormalities are not always evaluated in detail. In this study, we aimed to clarify the incidence of co-existing vascular abnormalities, especially unruptured cerebral aneurysms by reviewing selective intra-arterial digital subtraction angiography (DSA) images in PICH patients.
