Figure/Graphic 1: Zerebrale Blutung MR scans of a 74-year old patient with amyloidangiopathyinduced cerebral bleeding in the right parietal subcortex. In the haemosensitive scans (gradient-echo T2* sequences) numerous additional hypointense lesions are visible, indicating multiple silent cerebral "microbleeds". Such patients might bear an additional risk for a recurrent haemorrhage if cholesterol or LDL is markedly reduced below normal. |
