INTRODUCTION

About 80% of all non-traumatic intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH) are caused by the sporadic cerebral small vessel diseases deep perforator arteriopathy (DPA, also termed hypertensive arteriopathy or arteriolosclerosis) and cerebral amyloid angiopathy (CAA), though these frequently co-exist in older people. Contemporary neuroimaging (MRI and CT) detects an increasing spectrum of haemorrhagic and non-haemorrhagic imaging biomarkers of small vessel disease which may identify the underlying arteriopathies.

AREAS COVERED

We discuss biomarkers for cerebral small vessel disease subtypes in ICH, and explore their implications for clinical practice and research.

EXPERT OPINION

ICH is not a single disease, but results from a defined range of vascular pathologies with important implications for prognosis and treatment. The terms "primary" and "hypertensive" ICH are poorly defined and should be avoided, as they encourage incomplete investigation and classification. Imaging-based criteria for CAA will show improved diagnostic accuracy, but specific imaging biomarkers of DPA are needed. Ultra-high-field 7T-MRI using structural and quantitative MRI may provide further insights into mechanisms and pathophysiology of small vessel disease. We expect neuroimaging biomarkers and classifications to allow personalized treatments (e.g. antithrombotic drugs) in clinical practice and to improve patient selection and monitoring in trials of targeted therapies directed at the underlying arteriopathies.
