492 Stroke February 2018 lobar hemorrhages required for probable CAA, or alternatively preclude probable CAA if in deep territories. The rationale for counting all types of hemorrhagic lesions is that while different hemorrhage sizes may arise by distinct pathogenic mechanisms, 14 each presumably represents a distinct event of vessel leakage and therefore provides independent evidence for the underlying small-vessel condition. The increasingly widespread use of blood-sensitive T2*-weighted MRI methods has greatly influenced detection of CMBs (Figure 1) and cSS (Figure 2) and thus the diagnosis of CAA as discussed below. Conversely hemorrhagic lesions that may be part of a larger hemorrhage, such as smaller extensions in proximity to a larger hemorrhage or foci of cSS near or directly connected to ICHs that have ruptured into the subarachnoid space, are considered as part of a single bleeding event and thus not counted as separate hemorrhages (Figures 1C and 2C). A second practical issue is that a hemorrhagic lesion in the centrum semiovale can seem a long distance from the outer surface of the brain and still be quite close to the corticosubcortical junction (Figure 1D) because of the undulating curves of the cortical gyri. Hemorrhages are considered deep hemispheric only when clearly involving the basal ganglia, thalamus, or internal capsule.
