Frequency and Location of Microbleeds in Patients With Primary Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Stroke 31:2665-2669, Roob,G.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
MBs were seen in 59 (54%) patients and ranged in number from 1 to 90 lesions (mean 14, median 6). In the majority of patients, MBs were located simultaneously in various parts of the brain, with a preference for cortical-subcortical regions (39%) and the basal ganglia/thalami (38%). There was some tendency toward a regional association between MB location and the site of the symptomatic hematoma, but we could not discern specific patterns of MB distribution. Logistic regression analysis i dentified MBs, periventricular hyperintensity grades, and lacunes but not risk factors as independent variables contributing to a correct classification of pICH and control individuals. MBs can be detected in more than half of the patients with pICH and appear to be quite general markers of various types of bleeding-prone microangiopathy.
