Asymptomatic Microbleeds as a Risk Factor for Aspirin-Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhages
Neurol 60:511-513, Wong,K.S.,et al, 2003
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The authors measured the presence and extent of asymptomatic microbleeds on gradient-recalled-echo MRI in 21 aspirin users who developed intracerebral hemorrhage and 21 aspirin users without history of intracerebral hemorrhage. Microbleeds were more frequent (19 vs 7, p <0.001) and more extensive (mean number of microbleeds 13.3 vs 0.4, p<0.001) in the intracerebral hemorrhage group than in the control group. Asymptomatic microbleeds may be a risk factor for aspirin-associated intracerebra l hemorrhage.
