[On the phenomena of multiple extravasations of contrast medium in cerebral angiogram of the cases of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma (author's transl)].
It is interesting to note the pathological findings that the rupture of multiple microaneurysms in the basal ganglia appears to be the cause of the hypertensive intracerebral hematoma. But there is few report that the carotid angiogram demonstrated multiple leakages of contrast medium of intracerebral hematoma in vivo than in Westberg's postmortem angiogram. The authors experienced 15 cases of hypertensive intracerebral hematoma whose cerebral angiogram showed extravasation of contrast material. It was fifty-seven per cent of which angiogram within 6 hours after the stroke showed leakage of contrast medium. However, there was remarkably decreased appearance of the extravasation after 9 hours after the stroke. Moreover, emphasis showed be placed upon the facts that eleven cases of 15 cases showed more than two adjacent spotty extravasations of contrast medium and that six cases demonstrated the simultaneous multiple leakages of contrast material from more than two lentriculostriate arteries. These angiographic findings has led us to the conclusion that there is intimate correlation between the large hematoma and multiple ruptures of the microaneurysms of lentriculostriate arteries.
