Abstract
PURPOSE Spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) is the main presentation in adults with moyamoya disease (MMD), an unusual clinical entity with a poor prognosis. However, optimal management in the acute stage of ICH in patients with MMD remains a challenge. Since minimally invasive surgery (MIS) plus local thrombolysis has emerged as a promising strategy for ICH, we aimed to describe our experience of performing this procedure in this special population in the acute phase, while focusing on its efficacy and safety. MATERIALS AND METHODS The medical data of patients with ICH treated with MIS and local thrombolysis between November 2013 and December 2017 were retrospectively reviewed at our institution. MMD was identified based on the angiographic images. The primary outcome was postoperative intracranial rebleeding. The secondary outcomes were 30-day mortality and 6-month outcome graded using the modified Rankin scale (mRS). Logistic regression was applied to explore independent risk factors for the above outcomes. RESULTS A cohort of consecutive 337 ICH patients was analysed, of whom 14 (4.15%) were diagnosed with MMD. In total, 36 (11.46%) patients experienced postoperative intracranial rehaemorrhage, of which one patient had MMD. No significant difference was found between the patients with and without MMD regarding postoperative rebleeding (9.09% vs. 11.55%, p = 1.000). Additionally, the 30-day mortality of patients with MMD was 21.42% (3/14), which was not significantly different from that of non-MMD patients (10.83%; p = 0.201). Moreover, 53.8% of patients had poor outcomes at the 6-month follow-up among MMD patients, similar to 43.9% of patients without MMD (p = 0.573). The coexistence of MMD failed to show a significant association with postoperative intracranial rebleeding (p = 0.348), 30-day mortality (p = 0.211), or poor outcome at the 6-month follow-up (p = 0.450). CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that coexistent MMD is not associated with an increased risk of postoperative rebleeding or poor outcome after local thrombolysis for ICH.

Xu F, Lian L, Liang Q, Pan C, Pan C, Hu Q, Chen R, Wang F, Zhang M, Tang Z, Zhu S. Is it dangerous to treat spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage by minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis in patients with coexisting unruptured intracranial aneurysms? Clin Neurol Neurosurg 2019; 180:62-67. [PMID: 30947028 DOI: 10.1016/j.clineuro.2019.03.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/26/2018] [Revised: 03/11/2019] [Accepted: 03/14/2019] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Limited evidence supports the presumed increased frequency of hemorrhage caused by the unruptured intracranial aneurysms which coexist in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage treated with minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis. Subsequently, we sought to determine the safety of local thrombolysis for this particular subset of patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS We reviewed the medical records of patients treated with minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis for intracerebral hemorrhage between November 2013 to December 2015 in an intensive care unit of a tertiary care hospital. Depending upon the vascular images, unruptured intracranial aneurysms were identified. The primary outcome was any of postoperative intracranial rebleeding. The second outcome included the 30-day death and 6-month follow up graded by Modified Rank Scale. Blind abstractors reviewed the medical data and binary logistic regression was performed to investigate the risk factors of poor prognosis. RESULTS We identified a cohort of consecutive 188 patients, of whom 23 (12.2%) harbored unruptured intracranial aneurysms. There were 28 aneurysms documented in this study, among which 3 were in the posterior circulation. And in total, 20 (11.3%) cases suffered from postoperative hematoma growth, of which 4 were with aneurysms. Additionally,the 30-day mortality after stroke in patients with aneurysms was 8.69% (2/23), comparable to 13.33% in without (22/165,p = 0.744). The proportion of the favorable outcome at 6-month follow-up in patients with aneurysms was comparable to that in without (47.8% versus 48.5%,p = 1.000) Insignificant associations were demonstrated between the unruptured intracranial aneurysms and postoperative intracranial rehemorrhage (p = 0.092), 30-day death(p = 0.588) and poor long-term prognosis (p = 0.332), respectively. CONCLUSION Our findings suggest that unruptured intracranial aneurysms seem to represent no increased risks of poor outcome after local thrombolysis for intracerbral hematomas.

Abstract
Simultaneous spontaneous bilateral external capsule hemorrhage is a rare clinical entity with extremely poor outcome. However, knowledge on the effective management of this fatal disease is limited. Herein,we described a case of a 42-year-old man with acute coma and quadriplegia as well as respiratory failure related to the disease.The patient underwent minimally invasive surgery plus local thrombolysis.Consequently, he recovered with satisfactory neurological function recovery on the 180th day of follow-up.
