MRI markers of cerebral small vessel disease prior to first-ever spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage: a retrospective case-control study.
BACKGROUND Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a major contributor to stroke, cognitive decline, and intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). While post-ICH MRI markers of CSVD are well described, their role in predicting first-ever ICH remains unclear. METHODS We conducted a retrospective case-control study at a tertiary...
