Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Journal of Neurology"
DOI: 10.1007/s00415-018-8975-8
Abstract: BackgroundThe presence of the spot sign on computed tomography angiogram (CTA) is considered a sign of active bleeding, and studies have shown it can predict hematoma expansion in intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH). The spot sign in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10143-021-01503-7
Abstract: The “spot sign” is a well-known radiological marker used for predicting hematoma expansion and clinical outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). We performed a meta-analysis to assess the predictive accuracy of spot sign, depending… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2017.09.121
Abstract: BACKGROUND Ultra-early surgical clot removal relieves mechanical compression on adjacent normal brain tissue and limits the toxic effects of a hematoma, which might improve the outcomes in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); however, hematoma expansion… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.wneu.2018.05.022
Abstract: BACKGROUND Endoscopic evacuation of hematoma (EEH) has recently been applied to treat patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (sICH). Intraoperative active bleeding (IAB), which is occasionally observed in EEH, might lead to greater blood loss, further… read more here.

DOI: 10.1097/md.0000000000023278
Abstract: Abstract The CT-angiography (CTA) spot sign is a predictor of hematoma expansion (HE). We have previously reported on the use of dynamic CTA (dCTA) to detect spot sign, and to study its formation over the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1155/2017/4137210
Abstract: Hematoma expansion (HE) occurs in approximately one-third of patients with intracerebral hemorrhage and leads to high rates of mortality and morbidity. Currently, contrast extravasation within hematoma, termed the spot sign on computed tomography angiography (CTA),… read more here.
