Abstract
Previous observational studies have reported associations between brain imaging-derived phenotypes (IDPs) and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), but the causality between them remains uncertain. We aimed to investigate the potential causal relationship between IDPs and ICH by a two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) study. We selected genetic instruments for 363 IDPs from a genome-wide association study (GWASs) based on the UK Biobank (n = 33,224). Summary-level data on ICH was derived from a European-descent GWAS with 1,545 cases and 1,481 controls. Inverse variance weighted MR method was applied in the main analysis to investigate the associations between IDPs and ICH. Reverse MR analyses were performed for significant IDPs to examine the reverse causation for the identified associations. Among the 363 IDPs, isotropic or free water volume fraction (ISOVF) in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule was identified to be associated with the risk of ICH (OR per 1-SD increase, 4.62 [95% CI, 2.18-9.81], P = 6.63 × 10-5). In addition, the reverse MR analysis indicated that ICH had no effect on ISOVF in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule (beta, 0.010 [95% CI, -0.010-0.030], P = 0.33). MR-Egger regression analysis showed no directional pleiotropy for the association between ISOVF and ICH, and sensitivity analyses with different MR models further confirmed these findings. ISOVF in the anterior limb of the left internal capsule might be a potential causal mediator of ICH, which may provide predictive guidance for the prevention of ICH. Further studies are warranted to replicate our findings and clarify the underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Introduction Stroke is a major global health concern and is ranked as the second leading cause of death worldwide, with the third highest incidence of disability. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating form of stroke that is responsible for a significant proportion of stroke-related morbidity and mortality worldwide. Hematoma expansion (HE), which occurs in up to one-third of ICH patients, is a strong predictor of poor prognosis and can be potentially preventable if high-risk patients are identified early. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of previous research in this area and highlight the potential use of imaging markers for future research studies. Recent advances Imaging markers have been developed in recent years to aid in the early detection of HE and guide clinical decision-making. These markers have been found to be effective in predicting HE in ICH patients and include specific manifestations on Computed Tomography (CT) and CT Angiography (CTA), such as the spot sign, leakage sign, spot-tail sign, island sign, satellite sign, iodine sign, blend sign, swirl sign, black hole sign, and hypodensities. The use of imaging markers holds great promise for improving the management and outcomes of ICH patients. Conclusion The management of ICH presents a significant challenge, and identifying high-risk patients for HE is crucial to improving outcomes. The use of imaging markers for HE prediction can aid in the rapid identification of such patients and may serve as potential targets for anti-HE therapies in the acute phase of ICH. Therefore, further research is needed to establish the reliability and validity of these markers in identifying high-risk patients and guiding appropriate treatment decisions.
