Cavernoma with bleeding. (a) Axial multiplanar GRE MR image (MPGR; GE Healthcare, Chalfont St Giles, United Kingdom) (600/20; flip angle, 20°; bandwidth, 122 Hz/pixel; voxel size, 0.78 × 0.9 × 5.0 mm; FOV, 200 × 200 mm) shows a hematoma (arrowhead) with dark border and edema around it in the right occipital lobe. (b) Follow-up axial T2*-weighted fast GRE MR image (T2 FFE; Philips) (665/23; flip angle, 18°; bandwidth, 108.6 Hz/pixel; voxel size, 0.9 × 1.1 × 5.0 mm; FOV, 220 × 192 mm) shows reduction in the size of the acute hematoma. A residual low-signal-intensity area (arrowhead) is seen at the site of the hematoma, which was a complication of a cavernoma. A new small cavernoma (arrow) is seen in the left frontal lobe. T2*-weighted images depict more cavernomas than T2-weighted fast spin-echo images.
