💥Dramatic Intracerebral Hemorrhage🩸🧠 expansion.

Hyperacutely➡️again showing that the window for intervention in ICH is pretty narrow!

⏰=💥🩸🧠

🙏🏿@VancouverStroke for reminding me of these cases!

📌How to design a brain 101🧠🏗️

A 🧵 on how I use @powerpoint to create illustrations

🎨Key tools and my 2 secret weapons:

-@gboulouis adding "advanced" stuff
-@MVarkanitsa reviewing every little detail

#MedTwitter #MedEd #NeuroTwitter #NeuroRad #Neurology #neuropath #FOAMed Image
This 🧵 is inspired by a great recent post from @teachplaygrub, since we are using similar methods and tools on #PowerPoint!

🛠️ The Basic Toolkit:
-curve function ➰
-edit points function✴️
-Layering 🃏
-Zooming (x300-400%) for details 🔍

🎨 colors, shadows, 3D effects etc., depends on individual's style

🚨Early management of Intracerebral Hemorrhage🩸🧠

📒 My cheat-sheet
(focus on approaches to limit hematoma expansion)

⚡️For anticoagulation reversal in ICH, see this high yield and simple algorithm from @American_Heart updated ICH 2022 guidelines🩸🧠 @StrokeAHA_ASA Image
For a quick summary of the @American_Heart updated ICH 2022 guidelines 🩸🧠, the recent 🧵 that @MicieliA_MD put together is amazing

The🟡 Spot Sign might be dead🧟🧟‍♂️ for ICH🧠🩸!

(At least as practice-changing marker for Intracerebral Hemorrhage expansion)

🍄ICH shape/density markers on plain NCCT are more promising👇🏿👇🏿

NCCT markers of hematoma expansion picture from: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31364773/

These markers still need harmonization and improvement of diagnostic accuracy..

re: ICH Prevention in People w ⬆️Risk MRI findings in @American_Heart updated 2022 ICH guidelines🧠🩸

📌 Refers to incidentally found MRI markers of small vessel disease (SVD) - a common question

Prompted by @interneurona unpacking below (short 🪀)
For context:
🚫MRI is not routinely done for risk stratification of first-ever spontaneous ICH risk

🔮MRI is occasionally available in certain people/pts w/o ICH: may show SVD markers concerning for future ICH risk

〽️These markers are: microbleeds, superficial siderosis

1/
The populations that this might be relevant to are:
- healthy elderly
- ischemic stroke
- memory clinic
- any pt who got a brain MRI for a different indication (e.g. migraines)
- non-ICH cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA)

🚨 🧵 Some pearls on cases I have seen last week during night call @bmcneurology @The_BMC 🧠
PRES, RCVS, Trigeminal autonomic cephalalgia, vertigo, IIH, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar syndrome, hyperK, SAH, a tone of CODES STROKE, a tone of seizures
#NeuroTwitter #MedEd #Neurology

PRES 🗜️
⚡️huge spectrum
⚡️high index of suspicion in ptns with risk factors (often with HTN urgency, immunosuppression, sepsis) + seizures
🕵🏻‍♂️may not be posterior, may not be reversible, may not present as a syndrome!!
emcrit.org/ibcc/pres/ @PulmCrit
2/
⚡️RCVS
-observe (MRI, CTA), remove triggers, be cautious not to miss a dissection @interneurona
-pain control, this is the worst imaginable pain: Mg IV, opioids
-CaCB may help with headache - no proved benefit for vasoconstriction
