  https://vahemophilia.org/2024/05/28/study-suggests-prophylaxis-can-mitigate-intracranial-hemorrhage-risk/

  Results of a new study published in the Journal of Blood Medicine (JBM), indicate that people with hemophilia A (HA) who have been on a prophylactic treatment regimen have a reduced risk for intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). […] The authors also conveyed that these results align with earlier studies which demonstrated that prophylaxis provides a protective effect against ICH. […] This study, using data from the ATHNdataset, identified the following risk factors for ICH in PWHA: being aged between 2 and 12 years, having ever received Medicaid coverage, having had certain comorbidities (HIV and HTN), never having received factor treatment, and never having received prophylactic treatment.

• #16

  https://haematologica.org/article/view/11847

  Children with hemophilia have a significantly higher risk of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) compared to the normal population. Prophylaxis reduces the risk of ICH and earlier initiation of prophylaxis may now be feasible, especially in hemophilia A (HA). […] Assuming that prophylaxis would have been started at the time of diagnosis and preventing all ICH in children with severe HA, the number needed to treat with prophylaxis would be 44 patients to prevent one ICH. Hopefully, prophylaxis options allowing initiation early in life, ideally before 3 months of age for children with severe HA, will reduce the incidence of ICH in the future. […] Prophylaxis is known to reduce the incidence of ICH and should ideally start as early as possible. Some of the barriers for the start of prophylaxis such as the need for intravenous access have now been addressed: for patients with HA, emicizumab can be started early.

• #17

  https://haematologica.org/article/view/11847

  However, only patients diagnosed with hemophilia can be started on prophylaxis, emphasizing the importance of early diagnosis for both, boys and girls. […] In our study, approximately 40% of patients did not have an established diagnosis of hemophilia at the time of ICH and in this group, ICH occurred earlier and was frequently the reason for the diagnosis of hemophilia. […] The majority of 60% of ICH occurred when the diagnosis of hemophilia was already established and could potentially be prevented by an immediate start of prophylaxis.

• #19 Early venous thromboembolism prophylaxis in patients with trauma intracranial hemorrhage: Analysis of the prospective multicenter Consortium of Leaders in Traumatic Thromboembolism study – PubMed

  https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37314427/

  Early initiation of VTEp (48 hours) for patients with ICH was associated with decreased VTE/DVT rates without increased risk of pICH or other significant bleeding events. […] The optimal time to initiate venous thromboembolism prophylaxis (VTEp) for patients with intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is controversial and must balance the risks of VTE with potential progression of ICH. […] Importantly, VTEp 48 hours was not associated with pICH (OR, 0.75) or risk of other bleeding events (OR, 1.28) (both p = NS).

  Early chemoprophylaxis for deep venous thrombosis does not increase the risk of hematoma expansion in patients presenting with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. […] The use of early chemoprophylaxis against venous thromboembolic events following ICH appears safe in our patient population without increasing the risk of hematoma expansion. […] The present study suggests that early chemoprophylaxis, that is, within 24 h of admission does not result in worse outcomes. […] Our findings show that early chemoprophylaxis did not result in an increased rate of hematoma expansion in this patient population. […] Larger, prospective, and randomized studies are necessary to better elucidate the risk of early chemoprophylaxis and potential reduction in venous thromboembolic events.

  Post-traumatic brain injury (TBI) venous thromboembolic (VTE) disease represents a serious complication which occurs not infrequently given the hypercoagulable state of trauma. […] Unfortunately, VTE chemoprophylaxis has historically been limited by concerns for intracranial hemorrhagic expansion. […] These data suggest that administration of chemoprophylaxis within as little as 24 hours from hemorrhagic TBI does not result in hemorrhage expansion in closed or penetrating injuries irrespective of the volume of damaged tissue.

• #23 Life-Threatening Intracranial Hemorrhage With Unexpectedly High Prothrombin Time Following Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis | Tahir | Journal of Medical Cases

  https://www.journalmc.org/index.php/JMC/article/view/2193/1571

  Effective thromboprophylaxis with low-dose subcutaneous heparin has been shown to reduce morbidity and mortality. […] Venous thromboembolism (VTE) prophylaxis may be complicated by hemorrhage especially in high risk patients. Heparin should be used cautiously and its effect should be monitored in such patients. […] The purpose of this case report is not to discourage medical practitioners from VTE prophylaxis as effective thromboprophylaxis can safely reduce the incidence of VTE decreasing the morbidity and mortality. […] PTT monitoring is not recommended with VTE prophylaxis, but it should be considered in selected high risk patients especially very old ( 80 years). If kidney functions are normal, LMWH could be a better choice due to its more predictable effect and low risk of bleeding. But if LD-UFH is started, heparin twice daily instead of thrice daily might be a safe option in such high risk patients. Further studies are needed to evaluate the dose and type of pharmacologic thromboprophylaxis in special patient populations. The prophylactic use of heparin can become safer if appropriately used, effect is monitored and its pharmacokinetics is considered.

  No direct surgical intervention could be performed in the presence of a life-threatening by bleeding in a hard-to-reach area. […] Although direct surgery for hematoma is not performed, the primary aim is to urgently prevent cerebral herniation. […] In the presence of a resistant intracranial hypertension in patients with traumatic excessive cerebral edema and damage, decompressive craniectomy may be the decision. […] Decompressive hemicraniectomy protected the brain stem. […] Decreased bleeding volume was detected on the sagittal tomographic sections of the patient, which was obtained following cranial decompression. […] The relaxation of temporal base has resulted in the dispersion of the peritentorial blood.
