From Spot Sign to Bleeding on the Spot: Classic and Original Signs of Expanding Primary Spontaneous Intracerebral Hematoma

Expansion of a primary spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage (PSICH) has become lately of increasing interest, especially after the emergence of its early predictors. However, these signs lacked sensitivity and specificity. The flood phenomenon, defined as a drastic increase in the size of a PSICH dur...
