The brush sign (BS) is the enlargement of medullary veins on 3-T T2*-weighted MRI seen in patients with ischemic stroke because of major cerebral artery occlusion. However, the clinical relevance of BS in patients with acute stroke remains unclear. We assessed the correlation between detecting BS with the development of hemorrhagic transformation after intravenous thrombolysis.
