  • Title: Microhemorrhages in the central nervous system: report of a patient with microhemorrhages in brain and spinal cord.
    Author: Bernsen HJ, Venderink DJ.
    Journal: Acta Neurol Belg; 2001 Sep; 101(3):184-7. PubMed ID: 11817269.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year-old, woman with microhemorrhages in the brain and spinal cord is described. This patient was initially seen with a reversible oculomotor paresis and hypertension, a year later she developed spinal cord symptoms. T2-weighted magnetic resonance imaging showed characteristic hypointense lesions in the brain and spinal cord consistent with microhemorrhages. Although the occurrence of microhemorrhages in the brain has been described before, the combination of brain and spinal cord microhemorrhages has not been reported yet. The observations in our patient suggest that microvascular changes related to hypertension are a common cause for these microhemorrhages.
