Objective:To identify,in the first 5 hours of acute brain infarct,clinical and radiologic predictors of subsequent hemorrhagic transformation(HT),and to evaluate its influence on the clinical course.HT of a brain infarct is a common event that occurs independently of anticoagulation and can be reliably predicted as early as 5 hours from a stroke onset by the presence of focal hypodensity at CT.Apart from the infrequent cases of massive hematoma,HT does not influence prognosis,whereas a poor outcome in HT patients is correlated with a higher frequency of large edematous infarcts in this subgroup.The clinical course and final outcome of HT in anticoagulated patients does not differ from that of non-anticoagulated HT patients. |
