1. Neuro-monitoring
1). Neuro Exam
Simple and effective
Neurologic changes that need immediate attention
Mental status change
Decreased levels of consciousness: lethargy, stupor, coma.
Disorientation: name, place, time, and event.
Speech difficulty: expressive or receptive aphasia
Cranial nerve palsy: dilated and fixed pupil(s)
New weakness/numbness
2). Neuroimagings
a). CT
To follow hematoma expansion, cerebral edema, mass effect, herniation, or hydrocephalus.
Indicated in
First few days after stroke,
Deterioration on neuro exam,
Sedated and paralyzed patient.
b). CTA Contrast extravasation predicts hematoma expansion
CT demonstrates a left putaminal hematoma (A). A small focus of enhancement is
seen on CTA (B), consistent with extravasation on postcontrast CT (C). Unenhanced
CT image 1 day after presentation reveals hematoma enlargement and IVH (D).

Contrast extravasation predicts mortality in ICH
A 69-yo man underwent imaging 2 hrs following onset of right-sided paralysis.
Admission NCCT demonstrates a left thalamic hematoma with extension into the third
Ventricle (A). CTA (B) and CECT (C), respectively, show 2 foci of active extravasation
(arrows). Follow-up NCCT 12 hrs later shows marked hematoma g
