Remote Diffusion-Weighted Imaging Lesions and Intracerebral Hemorrhage: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Remote diffusion-weighted imaging lesions (RDWILs) in the context of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are associated with an increased risk of recurrent stroke, worse functional outcome, and death. To update current knowledge on RDWILs, we conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of the prevalence, associated factors and presumed causes of RDWILs. METHODS: We searched Pubmed, Embase, and Cochrane up to June 2022 for studies … Show more

“…RDWILs were proposed to be surrogate markers of ischemic processes in microangiopathy due to their close associations with the severity of cSVD. 6,15 Nevertheless, the causes of RDWILs could be heterogenous, with several other factors also contributing to the insults. These factors include hemodynamic instability, large-artery atherosclerosis, embolic events, and venous drainage disorders.…”

“…2,3 In addition, a larger acute BP reduction has been associated with the occurrence of small acute ischemic insults that can be detected by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) and that are spatially remote to the hematoma; thus, these lesions have been named remote DWI lesions (RDWILs). [4][5][6] RDWILs are found in around 11%-41% of patients with acute spontaneous ICH. [4][5][6] Although they are usually small and asymptomatic, RDWILs are associated with a higher risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events, higher rate of vascular death, and worse functional outcomes at 3 months.…”
