Article information

Los eventos hemorrágicos en el curso de ataques cerebrovasculares son muy frecuentes. Tienen una alta mortalidad, y un alto porcentaje de secuelas graves.

Frecuencia y causas. Frecuencia: la frecuencia de las hemorragias intracerebrales está alrededor del 10%. Causas: hipertensión arterial mal controlada; angiopatía por depósito de sustancia amiloide en vasos del córtex y piamadre; uso de anticoagulante, como prevención de embolias cardíacas o en el tratamiento de trombosis coronarias y cerebrales; malformaciones vasculares, sobre todo los aneurismas arteriovenosos; diátesis hemorrágicas ya sean congénitas o adquiridas; sustancias simpático-miméticas, fármacos o drogas ilegales; traumatismos craneales, cirugía carótida o trasplante cardíaco, tumores cerebrales.

La causa principal de hemorragia cerebral ha sido, en este caso la hipertensión arterial. Clínicamente debutó como episodio confusional más desorientación espacial. Dentro de las exploraciones complementarias realizadas se apreció tomografía axial computarizada craneal: hematoma en región pulvinar derecha. Resonancia magnética nuclear: hematoma occipital derecho.

Tratamiento realizado: tratamiento conservador.

Palabras clave:

Hemorrhagic events in the course of cerebrovascular attacks are very frequent. They have a high mortality and high percentage of serious sequels.

Frequency and causes. Frequency: the frequency of intracerebral bleeding is about 10%.

Causes: poorly controlled HBP; angiopathy due to amyloid substance deposit in pia mater and cortex vessels; use of anticoagulants, as prevention of cardiac emboli or in the treatment of coronary and cerebral thrombosis; vascular malformations, above all the arteriovenous aneurysms; congenital or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis; sympatho-mimetic substances; drugs or illegal drugs; cranial traumatisms, carotid surgery or cardiac transplantation, cerebral tumors.

The main cause of cerebral hemorrhaging has been, in this case, arterial hypertension. Clinically it began as a confusional episode plus spatial disorientation. Within the complementary examinations performed, the following was observed (cranial CT scan): hematoma in right pulvinar region. (MRI) Right occipital hematoma.

Treatment performed: conserving treatment.
