Neuroimaging plays a crucial role in the evaluation of patients presenting with acute stroke symptoms. Noncontrast computed tomography (CT) is the standart brain imaging study for the initial evaluation of the patients with acute stroke symptoms. Conventional CT has excellent capacity to delineate the presence of brain hemorrhage. Recent study showed that subarachnoidal hemorrhage can be diagnosed on gradient recalled echo (GRE) MRI. This sequence detects the paramagnetic effects of deoxyhemoglobin. MRI may be as accurate as CT fort he detection of acute hemorrhage in patients presenting with acute stroke symptoms. In this report, the findings of subarachnoid hemorrhage on MRI are presented in cases of acute stroke.
