1 Value of Repeat Angiography in Patients With Spontaneous Subcortical Hemorrhage Akihiko Hino, MD; Masahito Fujimoto, MD; Tarumi Yamaki, MD; Yoshihiro Iwamoto, MD; Tetsuya Katsumori, MD Background and Purpose Neuroradiological investigations do not disclose a source of bleeding in some patients with spontaneous subcortical hemorrhage. These patients may harbor undetected vascular malformations and may be at risk of rebleeding in the future. We investigated patients with subcortical hemorrhage with use of repeat angiography and MRI to determine the incidence of occult vascular malformations and the risk of bleeding during follow-up. Methods We reviewed a consecutive series of 137 patients with subcortical hemorrhage during a 10-year period (June 1987 through June 1997). If the patient was 65 years old and the first angiogram and/or MRI did not show a source of bleeding, repeat angiography was recommended. All angiographic and MRI studies were reviewed. The relationship between the identified bleeding source and clinical variables such as patient age, sex, and history of hypertension and the size and location of the hematoma were examined. Results One hundred seven patients (78%) underwent angiography on admission, 10 (7%) had immediate surgery for hematoma without angiography, and 20 (15%) had neither angiography nor surgery. Overall, an etiology for the hemorrhage was found in 55 cases (40%). Vascular malformations were common in young patients without preexisting hypertension. A second angiogram was obtained in 22 patients, and 4 arteriovenous malformations were demonstrated. Rebleeding at the site of the initial hemorrhage was not observed after a mean follow-up of 68 months. Conclusions Angiography performed acutely after hemorrhage may not demonstrate vascular malformations. Consideration should be given to repeat angiography in patients who do not have a specific cause for hemorrhage. (Stroke. 1998;29: ) Key Words: angiography cerebral arteriovenous malformations intracerebral hemorrhage vascular malformations Clinical and neuroradiological investigations do not disclose a source of bleeding in some patients with spontaneous subcortical hemorrhage. The etiology of hemorrhage in these patients is usually classified as unknown, but these patients may harbor undetected vascular malformations and may be at risk of rebleeding Several scenarios are possible. If angiograms do not show a vascular malformation, the pathologically identified lesion (usually discovered at surgery) has been called an angiographically occult vascular malformation (AOVM) Most of these lesions are cavernous malformations, 1 4 and some authors have recommended surgical inspection of the hematoma wall. 1,5 7 These lesions, however, may include true arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), 8 12 which may be best left alone in situations where detailed information of vascular anatomy is not available. In another subset of patients, the initial angiogram does not show a vascular malformation, but repeat angiography several weeks later may reveal one. 7 9,13,14 There have been no detailed studies, however, to support the usefulness of follow-up angiography in patients with subcortical hemorrhage who have had one angiogram that did not show a vascular malformation. Therefore, the aims of this study were to document the source of bleeding in patients with spontaneous subcortical hemorrhage, to determine the frequency of identification of occult vascular lesions in relation to clinical and radiological features, and to determine whether repeat angiography to identify occult vascular lesions is justified. Subjects and Methods We reviewed a consecutive series of 137 patients (84 males and 53 females, aged 8 to 91 years) who were hospitalized between June 1, 1987, and June 30, All had CT scans showing single, spontaneous hematomas in the supratentorial subcortical white matter. We excluded patients with hemorrhage judged to be primarily in the cortical gray matter or the subarachnoid space. The institutional policy was for patients to be investigated with highresolution digital subtraction angiography on admission unless there was a need for immediate surgery or it was not believed that the patient could be saved. Patients 65 years of age in whom the source of bleeding was undetermined were recommended for repeat angiography after 3 weeks and/or repeat MRI examination after discharge. Patients even 65 years of age did not undergo repeat angiography if they were judged to be at high surgical risk; if they had severe neurological disability that would advise against aggressive inter- Received June 1, 1998; final revision received September 10, 1998; accepted September 10, From the Departments of Neurosurgery (A.H., M.F., T.Y., Y.I.) and Radiology (T.K.), Saiseikai Shigaken Hospital, Shiga, Japan.

Identified Etiology and Risk Factors for Subcortical Hemorrhage in 137 Patients Etiology No. of Cases (%) Identified cause 55 (40%) Arteriovenous malformation 30 (22%) Cavernous malformation 5 (4%) Venous malformation 1 (1%) Cerebral aneurysm 2 (1.5%) Brain tumor 4 (3%) Glioma 2 (1.5%) Metastasis 2 (1.5%) Amyloid angiopathy 2 (1.5%) Sagittal sinus thrombosis 1 (1%) Moyamoya disease 2 (1.5%) Coagulopathy 8 (6%) Cirrhosis 6 (4%) Anticoagulants 2 (1.5%) Unknown etiology 82 (60%) Investigations negative 62 (45%) Hypertension* 23 (17%) No hypertension 39 (28%) No investigations 20 (15%) Hypertension 13 (10%) No hypertension 7 (5%) *Here, hypertension is treated not as a direct cause but as a possible risk factor of hemorrhage.

Some patients refused repeated angiographic examination. Hematoma size was estimated from CT scans based on the maximum diameter. Surgical evacuation of the hematoma was performed in patients with mass effect associated with focal or global neurological deficit that was judged to be caused by the hematoma; it was carried out in 49 cases. Extensive surgical inspection of the hematoma cavity was not undertaken. The patients were divided into subgroups according to sex, age, size and location of hematoma, and history of hypertension, and the identified source of bleeding was cataloged in each subgroup. We treated chronic hypertension not as a specific cause of bleeding but as a possible risk factor for hemorrhage, although many previous reports have considered it a major cause for even a subcortical hemorrhage The frequency of abnormal findings on angiography and MRI were also evaluated. Statistical comparisons between subgroups were made using the 2 test or Fisher s exact probability test, and values of P 0.05 were considered significant. Results Table 1 shows the final classification of source of bleeding, taking into account the results of initial and repeat angiographic studies. There were 30 AVMs (22%), 5 cavernous malformations (4%), 2 aneurysms (1.5%), and 4 brain tumors (3%). Severe coagulopathy was present in 8 cases (6%). The underlying etiology was unknown in the remaining 82 patients (60%). However, 20 of these patients underwent neither angiography nor surgery, mainly because it was not believed that they could be saved. Of the remaining 62 patients, 23 exhibited preexisting chronic hypertension. Thus, the 23 patients with chronic hypertension (11%) and 39 without hypertension (33%) of the 117 patients undergoing angiographic or surgical evaluation were considered to have hypertensive intracerebral hematoma and hemorrhage of unknown etiology, respectively. Table 2 shows the identified bleeding sources according to clinical and radiological subgroup. Preexisting chronic hypertension was present in 45 patients, 9 of whom were found to have a specific vascular lesion accounting for the hemorrhage. A specific bleeding source was more frequent in younger patients (P 0.05) and in those without preexisting hypertension (P 0.005). It was uncommon for angiography to disclose a source of hemorrhage in patients with hypertension. The likelihood of an angiographic abnormality also decreased with increasing age. In the 36 patients in whom vascular malformations were identified, cavernous malformations were common in those with small hematomas whereas AVMs were frequently identified in those with larger hematomas (P 0.005). Angiography was performed on admission in 107 patients; 22 AVMs, 3 aneurysms (including 1 unruptured aneurysm), 2 cases of moyamoya disease, 1 venous malformation, and 1 sagittal sinus thrombosis were identified. Thirty patients (28%) did not undergo angiography either because there was a need for immediate surgery (10 cases) or it was not believed that the patient would survive (20 cases). Of the 79 patients who had negative initial angiograms, 5 cavernous malformations, 3 AVMs, 2 cases of amyloidosis, and 2 brain tumors (1 lung cancer and 1 melanoma metastasis) were identified as bleeding source on MRI or surgical specimens; severe coagulopathy was present in 2 cases. Of the remaining 65 patients, 22 had repeat angiography after 3 weeks, and 4 AVMs were identified (Table 3 and the Figure). The clinical features of the 4 angiographically positive cases and the 18 negative ones are shown in Table 3: all 4 AVMs were found in females (P 0.05), but no significant difference in other characteristics was observed between the 2 groups. The remaining 43 patients did not undergo repeat angiography, since 25 patients were over 65 years of age; 14 had high surgical risk or severe neurological disability that indicated no aggressive intervention, even if underlying vascular lesions were found; and 4 refused the repeat study. Forty-nine patients underwent emergent surgery for decompression of life-threatening hematomas. Ten of these patients did not undergo angiography due to a need for immediate surgery: severe coagulopathy was present in 6 cases and an unexpected AVM was discovered during the operation in 1 case, but no specific etiology was found in the remaining 3 cases. Seven AVMs were diagnosed preoperatively, but 4 AVMs were unexpectedly identified during the operation: 3 were negative on preoperative angiography, and 1 was found in a patient who underwent immediate surgery without angiography. Seventy patients were discharged without identification of any specific bleeding source,but follow-up MRI after discharge identified 2 gliomas. Amyloid angiopathy was assumed to be the cause of hemorrhage in 4 cases, but this was confirmed by histopathology only in 2 cases. Rebleeding at

Discussion We have herein reviewed 137 consecutive patients with spontaneous subcortical hemorrhage and have identified 41 (30%) as being caused by specific underlying vascular lesions, 8 (6%) secondary to coagulopathy, 4 from brain tumor, and 2 from amyloid angiopathy (Table 1). The so-called AOVMs, found in 12 cases (9%), included 5 cavernous malformations, 3 AVMs that were unexpectedly encountered during emergent operation for hematoma despite negative preoperative angiography, and 4 AVMs that were occult on initial angiography but were later angiographically visible. Vascular malformations were common in younger patients and those without hypertension. Cavernous malformations were common in patients with small hematomas whereas AVMs were frequent in those with larger hematomas. Thirty-nine of the 117 patients (33%) undergoing angiographic or surgical evaluation demonstrated no specific etiology or risk factors. They were considered to have hemorrhage of unknown etiology. The low incidence of AOVMs (12 cases; 9%) and amyloid angiopathy (2 cases; 1.5%) and the high frequency of unknown etiology may reflect the low rate of extensive surgical and/or histological inspection of the hematoma cavity in this series. 6,10,19 Previous studies have estimated that between 27% and 53% of patients with lobar hemorrhage have AOVMs. 5 Several authors recommended surgical exploration of the hematoma wall to detect occult vascular lesions. 1,5 7 The rationale for early identification would be to obliterate them at initial surgery and thus prevent subsequent bleeding. Recent reports have noted that the majority of AOVMs are cavernous malformations and that they may not be as benign an entity as they were previously thought to be. 1 4,11,12 However, these reports deal with many deep-seated and posterior fossa lesions, which have been reported to be associated with an increased propensity to bleed. 12,23 25 Furthermore, even a small hemorrhage in these areas may cause a debilitating neurological deficit. 1,12,24 This may have increased the cumulative morbidity of AOVMs in previously reported series. In the current series, no rebleeding occurred over a mean follow-up of 68 months, suggesting that the rebleed rate of AOVMs may be overestimated. Is it safe to inspect the hematoma cavity under the operating microscope after hematoma evacuation? The operative risks may be low for most cavernous malformations, but these lesions tend to be very small and the vessels may not be compact, thus making it difficult to be certain of total removal in the acute stage. Overly vigorous exploration under sometimes less-than-optimal emergency conditions may cause additional brain damage in the swollen, acutely injured brain. 1 It is also more difficult to obtain hemostasis in patients

Empirical manipulation may cause catastrophic intraoperative bleeding in patients with AVMs. Several studies have reported the usefulness of intraoperative angiography after emergent decompression of an acute intracerebral hemorrhage If aneurysmal rupture is highly suspected in a moribund patient with a huge hematoma, this may be the best option, considering both the high risk of rebleeding and the need for prompt decompression. 29 In this series, no patient underwent intraoperative angiography, but this procedure appears to be more attractive than the empirical exploration of the hematoma cavity. Once the characteristics of the underlying vascular lesions are detected, the surgeon can make a better decision about whether it is safe to proceed with resection or obliterations at that time. If highresolution digital subtraction angiography is available in the operating room, this procedure may be a better choice to treat hematomas requiring emergent surgery. It is noted that repeat angiography detected 4 true AVMs in 22 patients with negative initial angiography results (Table 3 and the Figure). We do not know whether the term AOVM can be applied to these cases, but we stress that such lesions indeed exist and that patients without identified specific bleeding sources should undergo repeated follow-up studies. The lack of initial angiographic identification may be explained by compression of the vessel lumens and/or destruction of the abnormal vessels by hematoma, vascular thrombosis secondary to gross hemorrhage, and/or posthemorrhagic vascular spasm. 8,9 The fact that 2 of the 4 AVMs initially occult were detected after evacuation of clot may support the speculation that the AVMs are compressed by hematomas, making them angiographically occult on the initial angiogram, and are then decompressed on the follow-up. It is also noted that MRI after discharge identified brain tumors in 2 patients. Because MRI in the acute stage also often fails to demonstrate the etiological lesion due to the presence of adjacent hematoma, long-term follow-up study is mandatory to rule out these lesions. Finally, in a subcortical hemorrhage without readily identifiable risk factors, a patient with negative angiographic and MRI findings in whom no etiological lesion is detected during surgery has a significant chance of having a lesion A case of subcortical hematoma caused by a small AVM that was occult on the initial angiogram but identified on repeat study. Right carotid arteriogram on the day of admission showed no vascular abnormality, but a repeat study 28 days later revealed a small AVM (arrow) in the right parietal lobe.
5 Hino et al December discovered at repeat angiography and/or MRI. Since the likelihood of a specific bleeding source was more frequent in younger patients and in those without preexisting hypertension, repeat examinations should be more strongly recommended to these patients.
