Summary:

Pathologists, neurologists, and other medical specialists share what is known and point out what is yet to be learned about the small, black, rounded lesions on small blood vessels that are called cerebral microbleeds. They are new to the study and treatment of stroke, and their significance is not yet clear. The themes are historical aspects, detection, and interpretation; mechanisms underlying microbleeds; and microbleeds in relation to specific populations, diseases, and neurological symptoms. The topics include susceptibility-weighted imaging, risk factors for cerebral microbleeds, cerebral microbleeds and Alzheimer's disease, cognitive impairment, and anti-thrombotic treatment.
