Differentiating between Hemorrhagic Infarct and Parenchymal Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Figure 10
75-year-old man presented with slurred speech. (a) Axial unenhanced CT images show an acute left parietal hemorrhage. The hypodense area around the hemorrhage reaches superiorly and out to the cortical surface, following the middle cerebral artery territory. Stage HI c2 [1]. (b) Axial fluid-attenuated inversion recovery MR sequences confirm the area of infarction reaching the surface of the cortex, suggesting that the stroke is a hemorrhagic infarct.
