- Abstract
- The incidence of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in young people is relatively low; however, it leads to devastating lifelong neurologic deficits. We focused on spontaneous ICH occurring in young adults between 30 and 50 years of age. We retrospectively reviewed the records of 139 patients, aged 30-50 years, diagnosed with spontaneous ICH between 2011 and 2021. Cases of ICH attributable to discernible causative lesions were excluded. Demographic data, laboratory results, image findings, and clinical outcome were analyzed. After exclusions, 73 patients were included in this study. Common characteristics among the study patients included male sex (83.6%), high body mass index (>25 kg/m2, 45.8%), smoking history (47.2%), heavy alcohol consumption (30.6%), previously diagnosed hypertension (41.1%), high serum triglyceride level (>150 mg/dL, 33.3%), and microbleeds or white matter changes observed on magnetic resonance images (51.3%). In the multivariate analysis, previously diagnosed hypertension was the sole significant risk factor for cerebral small vessel (OR 7.769, P=0.031). Age, brain stem location, Glasgow Coma Scale score at admission, and hematoma volume were associated with poor outcomes. Hypertension, obesity, smoking, and cerebral small vessel disease were important factors associated with non-lesional spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in young patients. Radiologic changes corresponding to cerebral small vessel disease appeared in young patients (in their 30s) and they were associated with hypertension.
