Extravasation of RBCs<br />
– Can be microscopic … microbleeds?<br />
Punctate or Petechial<br />
– Cortical Contusion, Shearing Injury<br />
– Reperfusion Injury/Hemorrhagic Infarction<br />
Coalescent<br />
– Venous Infarction<br />
Confluent Hematoma<br />
Space or Membrane Limited<br />
– EDH, SDH, SAH, Intraventricular<br />
