CT findings in hemorrhagic cerebral infarct.
Hemorrhagic cerebral infarcts can be detected by computer tomography (CT) as a high density lesion in the margins or inside a low density infarcted area. However the CT features are not always characteristic and the specific diagnosis is sometimes impossible. We describe the CT findings in initial and follow-up examinations of three arterial and one venous hemorrhagic infarcts and discuss the diagnostic problems.
