In patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) coexisting abnormalities on brain imaging can provide clues on the etiology of the underlying small vessel disease. We examined cortical cerebral microinfarcts as a novel marker of coexistent vascular damage in ICH. Twelve patients with spontaneous ICH and 15 controls underwent 7Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Microinfarcts were present in 9 of 12 patients with spontaneous ICH, and in 5 of 15 controls. This explorative study shows, for the first time, that microinfarcts appear to be a very common vascular comorbidity in spontaneous ICH. Future larger studies should further assess the etiological significance of these lesions.
