Lenticulostriate Artery and Lenticulostriate-artery Neural Complex: New Concept for Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Background: Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the poorest prognosis of all stroke subtypes with a high mortality and morbidity. Although considerable progress has been made, no intervention is currently available to alter the outcome of patients with ICH, suggesting a new concept directing ICH study is urgently needed. Keywords: Intracerebral hemorrhage, lenticulostriate arteries, microanatomy, hemodynamics, lenticulostriate-artery neural complex.
