ABSTRACT
In an attempt to investigate the sequential histological changes in the tissue surrounding intracerebral hematoma, an experimental model of intracerebral hematoma was made by an injection of 0.7ml of autologous whole blood, with the stereotaxic frame, into the right basal ganglia of the anesthetized rabbit. The total of 60 adult rabbits weighing 1.6 to 2.5kg were divided into 10 groups and sacrified in 0.5, 3, 6, 9 and 12 hours, and 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 days after the formation of intracerebral hematomas. The sequential microscopical changes in the brain tissue surrounding hematoma were observed. The results obtained were as follows : 1) At the earlier stages, in 0.5 to 24 hours after hematoma formation, edema, migration of RBCs, perivascular hemorrhage and infiltration of neutrophils were observed in the surrounding brain tissues. These changes began to appear in 3 to 6 hours and were aggravated rapidly in 12 to 24 hours. At the later stages, in 2 to 7 days after hematoma formation, infiltration of macrophage, proliferation of vessels and fibrin were observed in the surrounding brain tissue. These changes in the process of tissue repair seemed to begin in 2 days and promote in 3 to 7 days after hematoma formation. 2) The experimental data suggested that in the clinical practice the removal of intracerebral hematoma might as well be carried out in the early stage of hemorrhage, particularly within 12 hours, before the degree and extent of necrosis in the surrounding brain tissue would be marked.
Key Words: Experimental intracerebral hematoma; Histological changes; Brain tissue surrounding hematoma
