Citicoline sodium (cytidine-5'-diphosphocholine) has been shown previously to reduce ischemic injury in focal central nervous system models. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) appears to be associated with an area of edema and ischemic injury surrounding the hematoma that may be reduced by neuroprotective therapy. The present study was designed to test whether treatment with citicoline reduces ischemic injury and improves functional neurological outcome in an experimental model of ICH.
