Abstract
Based on the pathologic observation that severe cerebral amyloid angiopathy is often accompanied by multiple petechial hemorrhages, we prospectively obtained gradient-echo MRI on 15 elderly patients with lobar hemorrhage on CT. Nine of the 15 demonstrated accompanying petechial hemorrhages restricted to the cortical or corticosubcortical regions. No similar lesions were present on gradient-echo MRI in 10 elderly control patients. These findings suggest that cerebral amyloid angiopathy might be neuroradiologically diagnosed and staged during life.
