Hypertensive hemorrhage. A 55-year-old man who presented with a thalamic hemorrhage. Three selected images from 3D susceptibility-weighted imaging demonstrate microhemorrhages and hemosiderin deposition within the dentate nuclei (white arrows), brain stem, thalamus, and basal ganglia. The sentinel bleed is shown with black arrows. This distribution is characteristic of hypertensive microhemorrhages. The patient was being treated with multiple medications to control his hypertension, which remained elevated even during his hospitalization.
