Abstract

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics of hemorrhagic transformation( HT) after cerebral infarction. Methods The HT site and type,clinical manifestations,treatment,outcome of 9 patients with HT after cerebral infarction admitted to our hospital from 2012 were analyzed retrospectively. Results The median duration of 9 cases with HT was( 4. 6 ±1. 7) d,there were 8 cases( 88. 9%,8/9) of lobar hemorrhage,7 cases( 77. 8%,7/9) of non- hematoma. HT were related to atrial fibrillation( 100%,9 /9),massive cerebral infarction( 66. 7%,6 /9),diabetes( 66. 7%,6 /9),elderly( 70 years). After treatment,6 cases got better,1 case had no obviously changed,2 cases were died. Conclusion Atrial fibrillation,massive cerebral infarction,diabetes and elderly may be the risk factors of HT after cerebral infarction. Cranial CT scans timely is effective measure to diagnose HT after cerebral infarction.
