-Summary

Intracerebral haemorrhage is the type of stroke with the highest mortality rate, estimated at 40% in the acute phase. Among survivors, half will experience functional disability. Currently, there is no validated effective treatment. Reduction of perihematomal oedema is a potential therapeutic target. The development of oedema in the days following the haemorrhage worsens functional prognosis, notably through a harmful inflammatory process. In the early phase, neuronal excitotoxicity induced by the hematoma plays a major role in triggering the inflammatory cascade. This phenomenon is associated with dysfunction of neuronal Na⁺/K⁺ ATPase pumps and a disturbance of cerebral sodium homeostasis. Ultra-high field 7T MRI enables in vivo quantification of brain sodium concentrations. The investigators hypothesize that a drop-in sodium concentration within the perihematomal oedema is associated with greater oedema expansion and poorer functional outcome. To make this biomarker accessible to centers without 7 Tesla MRI, the investigators will use an artificial intelligence algorithm to generate synthetic sodium concentration maps derived from data acquired on conventional 3 Tesla MRI.

  • Sodium tissue concentration will be measured in perihematomal oedema (Device): Sodium tissue concentration will be measured in perihematomal oedema

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • Intraclass coefficient correlation (ICC) [Baseline visit]: Intraclass coefficient correlation (ICC) between sodium concentration measured at 7T and synthetic sodium concentration calculated from 3T images assessed at day-8 after ICH onset.

Secondary outcomes

  • Correlation coefficients of 6-month disability degree and sodium concentration. [Baseline and 6-month visit]: Correlation coefficients of 6-month disability degree assessed by modified Rankin scale (mRS) with 7T and 3T synthetic sodium concentration at day-8 after ICH onset.
