Significance of Haemorrhagic Lacunes on MRI in Pts with Hypertensive CVA & Intracerebral Haemorrhage Neuroradiology 36:504-508, Scharf,J.,et al, 1994 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract Our purpose was to determine the frequency and significance of haemorrhagic lacunes(HL)on MRI in patients with a history of,or at risk for intracerebral haemorrhage.We examined 72 patients with old spontaneous intracerebral haemorrhage(ICH)using T1-and T2-weighted spin-echo sequences.MRI studies of 137 consecutive patients with cerebrovascular disease but no known ICH were also reviewed.Both groups showed about the same degree of age-related white matter change and nonhaemorrhagic lacunar infarcts,whereas the ICH group had a higher frequency of HL(12/72 patients)than the non-ICH group(6/131 patients,p<0.01).These results correlate well with reported pathological findings.We conclude that haemorrhagic lacunes found on MRI studies of patients with cerebrovascular disease may suggest a higher risk of intracerebral haemorrhage.
