Abstract

Objective: To analyze risk factors for recurrent bleeding of patients with cavernous angiomas at Bach Mai Hospital from August 2018 to August 2019. Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 45 patients. Results: The ratio of male to female was 1/1, the average age of the study subjects was 43.6. The lesion site had 53.4% ​​of the cases of lesions located above the cerebellar tent, 42.2% of the cases were located below the cerebellar tent, and 4.4% of the cases had both above and below the tentacle, in 45 patients, there were 52 lesions, in which the most common lesion was in the frontal lobe 21.1%, the second was the pons 17.3%. Most patients have lesions less than 30mm (96.2%), lesions often show mixed signal on T1W pulse (55.6%), mixed signal on T2W pulse (53.3%), signal loss on T2* (100%). There was no correlation between recurrent bleeding with age (p = 0.486), gender (p = 0.912), location (p = 0.512), size of lesion (p = 0.456). Conclusion: Cavernous hemangioma appeared in both sexes with similar rates, the patient's age and sex and the location and size of the lesion were not risk factors for recurrent cerebral bleeding.
