The Value of MRI in Angiogram-Negative Intracranial Haemorrhage
Neuroradiology 36:422-425, Renowden,S.A., 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
In one year,cerebral angiograms were performed for intracranial haemorrhage(ICH)on 334 patients.No cause for haemorrhage could be identified in 41(12%),30 of whom had predominantly subarachnoid(SAH)and 11 predominantly parenchymal haemorrhage(PH).These patients were prospectively examined by cranial MRI 1-6 weeks after the ictus.The MRI studies were positive in 7 patients(17%).In the 30 patients examined after SAH,2 studies were positive,showing an aneurysm in one case and a brain stem lesion of uncertain aetiology in the other.In those examined after PH,cavernous angiomas were shown in 2,a tumour in 1 and a vascular malformation in another;useful diagnostic information was thus obtained in 36%of this group.
