Hypertension and cerebral amyloid angiopathy are the most common causes of cerebral microbleeds. The pattern of microbleeds on T2*-weighted gradient echo sequence of magnetic resonance imaging of the brain can be indicative of the etiology of intracerebral hemorrhage. We describe a case of cerebellar hemorrhage with cerebral microbleeds secondary to chronic hypertension. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
