Abstract

Background and purpose: Clinical data on sex differences in perihemorrhagic edema (PHE) after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are lacking. Methods: Patients with spontaneous supratentorial ICH who had received standard conservative treatment were identified retrospectively. PHE development was assessed over a 14-day period on follow-up CT scans (days 1, 2-4, 5-7, 8-11, and 12-14). ICH and PHE volumes were assessed semiautomatically and compared between men and women. Results: A total of 387 patients (233 men) were included. Starting at days 2-4, women showed lower PHE values (P<0.05;/ days 2-4, 8-11) or a trend toward significance (P≤0.1; days 5-7, 12-14). Conclusions: Female sex may predict lower PHE volumes. © 2012 The Author(s) European Journal of Neurology © 2012 EFNS.
