Hematoma Expansion: Clinical and Molecular Predictors and Corresponding Pharmacological Treatment

Background: Hematoma expansion is a detrimental event of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) which results in progressive neurologic deteriorations and poor outcomes. Objective: To summariz the current understanding of the mechanisms underlying hematoma expansion and discuss the potential approaches of treatment and prevention. Keywords: Hematoma expansion, predictors, molecular mechanism, pharmacological treatment, molecular intervention, prevention, intracerebral hemorrhage.
