The aim of this study was to establish and validate a clinically relevant model
of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) via injection of autologous blood into the
brains of cynomolgus macaques (Macaca fascicularis). Eight male cynomolgus
macaques received 1.5 mL of fresh anticoagulated autologous femoral artery blood
into the inner side of the claustrum near the right basal ganglia under
stereotactic guidance. Animals were evaluated with MRI and positron emission
tomography (PET) scanning before and 24 hours after surgery and once per week
thereafter. A neurological deficit scale was used to assess the animals on days
1, 2, 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 after surgery. Animals showed focal neurological signs
corresponding to the MRI-located hematoma. The behavioral impairment
progressively ameliorated over time, but never fully resolved. The hematoma was
absorbed over time but was still present 4 weeks after surgery, with persistent
metabolic deficit detected using PET scanning. Histological examinations
confirmed the in vivo findings. This ICH model in a non-human primate mimics
human ICH in the basal ganglia and may be useful for assessing the safety and
efficacy of neuroprotective agents.
