Magnetic resonance angiography of hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage.
Six patients with hypertensive intracerebral haemorrhage (HIH) were evaluated by both computed tomography (CT)and magnetic resonance (MR) angiography. The patients underwent MR angiography based on both time-of-flight (TOF) and phase-contrast (PC) methods. The CT scans showed putamenal haemorrhage in all patients. Early operations were performed and the haematoma was removed by stereotactic aspiration or a transsylvian approach in all cases. MR angiography offers great promise to distinguish HIH from other cerebrovascular diseases. The TOF method is very convenient for simultaneously observing both the intracerebral haematoma and the cerebral vasculature.
