Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. While traditional surgical techniques have shown marginal clinical benefit of ICH evacuation, minimally invasive techniques have shown some promise. Endoscopic evacuation of the hemorrhage may reduce the peri-hematoma edema and subsequent atrophy around the hemorrhage cavity. This study aims to quantify the changes in cavity volume following hematoma evacuation. Methods: Patients from the INVEST registry of minimally invasive ICH evacuation were included retrospectively if follow-up computed tomography (CT) scans were available for analysis. Hematoma cavity volumes were calculated from the immediate post-procedural and three-month follow-up CT scans using the Analyze Pro software. Results: Twenty patients had follow-up CT scans at a mean time of 93 days from hematoma evacuation. The average cavity size at follow-up was 11938.12 mm3 (SD: 6996.49). The change in cavity size compared to the prior CT was 6396.74 mm3 (median 2542; range: -1030-27543; SD: 8472.45). This represented mean growth in cavity volume of 54%. Conclusions: This study provides preliminary data describing increase in cavity size after endoscopic minimally invasive evacuation of ICH. Comparison to atrophy in conservatively-managed patients is a further planned avenue of research.
