Bleeding of Perivascular Spaces in Midbrain of a Young Patient With Head Trauma

Perivascular spaces (PVSs) surrounding the walls of arteries, arterioles, and venules are a common finding in brain imaging. Even if they do not directly communicate with subarachnoid spaces, there are some cases in which subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hematomas extend to the PVSs b...

description Perivascular spaces (PVSs) surrounding the walls of arteries, arterioles, and venules are a common finding in brain imaging. Even if they do not directly communicate with subarachnoid spaces, there are some cases in which subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and intracerebral hematomas extend to the PVSs by leakage of the leptomeninges. In this report, we present a case of enlargement and bleeding of PVSs in the midbrain of a young woman with head trauma, without evident SAH or intracerebral hematomas.
