BACKGROUND: @entity4008 is a fatal @entity6220 complicating intravascular involvements. Multiple microbleeds are rarely identified as complications because of the limited detection threshold of conventional imaging modalities. We report the first case of @entity10217 with successful identification of multiple microbleeds in the cerebellum by susceptibility-weighted imaging. CASE PRESENTATION: A 19-year-old Japanese female was brought to our emergency department because of fever and @entity772 . A spinal tap was performed and turbid yellow fluid was collected. A diagnosis of @entity4008 was established and the @entity1 was admitted to an intensive care unit. @entity619 and Antibiotics were administered and Neisseria meningitides was cultured from the spinal fluid. On day 10, postcontrast magnetic resonance imaging identified enhanced subarachnoid space in the cerebellum. Susceptibility-weighted imaging showed spotty low-intensity signals in the cerebellar tissue, indicating microbleeds. The @entity1 made a full recovery from @entity772 and was discharged without neurological sequelae on day 24. CONCLUSION: @entity10217 can cause multiple microbleeds in the cerebellum. In this report, we successfully identified microbleeds by susceptibility-weighed imaging. Using this imaging modality, further investigations will clarify its clinical incidence and significance.
