Knowledge on natural history and clinical impact of perihematomal edema (PHE) associated with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is limited. We aimed to define the time course, predictors and clinical significance of PHE measured by serial MR imaging. Patients with primary supratentorial ICH of ≥ 5cc underwent serial MRIs at pre-specified intervals during the first month. Hematoma (Hv) and PHE (Ev) volumes were measured on FLAIR. Relative PHE (rPHE) was defined as Ev/Hv. Neurological assessments were performed at admission and with each MRI. Barthel Index, modified Rankin and extended Glasgow outcome scales were done at 3 months. Twenty-seven patients with 88 MRIs were prospectively included. Median Hv and Ev on the first MRI were 39 and 46cc. Median peak absolute Ev was 88cc. Larger hematomas produced larger absolute Ev (r2=0.6) and smaller rPHE (r2 =0.7). Edema volume growth was fastest in the first two days, but continued until 12±3 days. In multivariate analysis, a higher admission hematocrit was associated with a greater delay in peak PHE (p=0.06). Higher admission PTT was associated with higher peak rPHE (p=0.02). Edema volume growth correlated with a decline in neurologic status at 48 hours (81 Vs 43cc, p=0.03), but not with 3-month functional outcome. Perihematomal edema volume measured by MRI increases most rapidly in the first two days after symptom onset and peaks towards the end of the 2nd week. The timing and magnitude of PHE volume is associated with hematological factors. Its clinical significance deserves further study.
