Multiple scattered T2 centrally hyperintense lesions with thin T2 hypointense rim in bilateral cerebral hemispheres and in cervical cord.
Most of the lesions also show focal intralesional T1 hyperintense signal in keeping with subacute hemorrhage.
Gliotic area is seen in right parietal lobe, likely sequelae of prior trauma.
Case Discussion
Above findings are in keeping with cerebral cavernomas. They are usually isolated but can be multiple and familial multiple cavernous malformation syndrome must be considered in such cases.
