Progression of Mass Effect After Intracerebral Hemorrhage Stroke 30:1167-1173, Zazulia,A.R.,et al, 1999 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Midline shift was present on 88% of the initial scans. There were 17 instances of midline shift progression: 10 occurred early (0.2 to 1.7 days) and were associated with hematoma enlargement, and 7 occurred late (9 to 21 days) (P<0.05). O f 65 scans repeated for clinical deterioration, only 10 were associated with increased mass effect. Progression of mass effect after ICH occurred at 2 distinct time points: within 2 days, associated with hematoma enlargement, and in the second and third weeks, associated with increase in edema. The clinical significance of later-developing edema is unclear.
