MRI images of three patients who underwent surgical resection for symptomatic ICMs and the corresponding pathology. MRI images of radiographically identified ICMs are shown in A+C. A (Patient 4): T2*+weighted, B (Patient 5): T2 FLAIR, C (Patient 10): T1+weighted MRI. A and B depict the typical appearance of ICM (white arrow) on MRI with a core of mixed increased and decreased signal intensity surrounded by low signal intensity from adjacent hemosiderin+laden parenchyma. Corresponding pathology (a,b) showing classic ICM with abnormal thin walled, dilated non+arterial blood vessels (black thin arrows) with little to no intervening brain tissue surrounded by a rim of hemosiderin+laden macrophages (black dashed arrows) in the adjacent parenchyma. C shows a right temporal+parietal ICM (white arrow) with high signal intensity and (c) corresponding pathology with dilated capillary+like vascular spaces (white dashed arrows) separated by intervening tissue.
