Spot Sign in Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage in Magnetic Resonance Imaging: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.
Neurologist 2018 May
INTRODUCTION: Intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. Current treatment paradigms focus on correcting hypertension and coagulopathy to prevent hematoma expansion. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is becoming more common in the hyperactive phase of ICH management. The finding of contrast extravasation (ie, spot sign) on MRI may be a marker of active bleeding. We present a case of MRI spot sign and review of the literature.
CASE REPORT: We present a patient on oral coumadin for history of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolus who presented with a right basal ganglia hemorrhage. She had a computed tomography angiography showing contrast extravasation and also had a hyperacute MRI showing similar contrast extravasation. Follow-up imaging showed hematoma enlargement.
DISCUSSION: We present here a case of corroboration of the computed tomography angiography spot sign with the MRI spot sign. The prognostic value of the MRI spot sign is unclear. Future studies should evaluate the prognostic value of the hyperacute MRI in ICH management.
