Recently developed MRI techniques, such as susceptibility weighted sequences (SWI) and T2 *-weighted gradient recalled echo, have high sensitivity to detect paramagnetic blood products and are therefore being increasingly used to detect cerebral microbleeds (CMB) in patients with stroke and other rarer diseases. 2,4,5 The mechanism by which DIC cause CMB is unclear, although they could involve a combination of both intravascular microthrombi and parenchymal hemosiderin deposits surrounding small vessels. Neurological examination showed a comatose patient (Glasgow Coma Scale 10/15 points), with erratic movements of the limbs and orofacial myoclonus.
