Abstract

The association of cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is well known and its relationship with low serum cholesterol in ICH patients might be of interest. A total of 105 patients with ICH were evaluated. In all subjects cholesterol levels were measured after 12h of fasting and gradient-echo magnetic resonance imaging (GE-MRI) was performed for detecting CMBs. CMBs were more common among patients with hypertension and leukoaraiosis (p=0.008 and p=0.001). Patients with and without CMBs did not differ according to total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides and HDL cholesterol levels. In this study, 61% of Turkish ICH patients had CMBs, which was not associated with lipid profiles. Leukoaraiosis was independently associated with CMBs.
