Blood-Brain Barrier Compromise Does Not Predict Perihematoma Edema Growth in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

摘要

Background and Purpose-There are limited data on the extent of blood-brain barrier (BBB) compromise in acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients. We tested the hypotheses that BBB compromise measured with permeability-surface area product (PS) is increased in the perihematoma region and predicts perihematoma edema growth in acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients.
