MRI shows multiple bilateral and diffuse focal areas of blooming artifact with susceptibility induced signal loss of variable size in susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) within the supra brain parenchyma related to microbleeds.
Case Discussion
Radiation-induced cerebral vasculopathy depends on the type and dose of radiation that can produce intracranial hemorrhages such as microhemorrhages, ischemic stroke, radionecrosis, stenosis of large vessels, capillary telangiectasia, and cavernomas.
