Evaluation of Role of Mannitol in the Assessment of Change of Intracranial Haematoma Volume by Neuroimaging Ct in Acute Intracerebral Haemorrhage

Abstract

BACKGROUNDMannitol has been used for several years to reduce cerebral oedema in acute ICH (intracerebral haemorrhage). Study on mannitol with its effect on haematoma volume and clinical outcome is limited.The main aim of this study is to measure haematoma volume before and after mannitol therapy in acute spontaneous ICH.
