Special Issue "Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Treatment in 2023 and Beyond"

Dear Colleagues,

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a devastating subtype of stroke characterized by bleeding occurring in the brain parenchyma and remains a considerable source of morbidity and mortality globally. Hematoma expansion, intraventricular hemorrhage, and perihematomal edema have been well established as modifiable predictors of functional outcome after ICH. Therefore, targeting the important modifiable determinants of prognosis are critical for improving functional outcome. Modulation of blood pressure, anti-coagulant reversal hemostatic therapies, and surgical evacuation of the hematoma are promising treatment options for ICH. Although tremendous strides in effective acute therapy of ischemic stroke have occurred in the past years, ICH remains a devastating condition with few evidence-based treatment options. Furthermore, understanding of risk factors and complications of ICH are also important for individualized management. Therefore, developing novel therapies and streamlined management protocols for ICH are crucial for improving functional outcome and alleviate associated stroke burden. In this Special Issue entitled “Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Treatment in 2023 and Beyond”, we call for research and review articles focusing on evaluation, treatment techniques, and therapeutic strategies for patients with ICH.

We are looking forward to your contributions!
