    Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is a severe stroke type with high incidence, disability, and mortality rates.

  • 2

    Remote diffusion-weighted imaging (R-DWI) lesions indicate ischemic injury in areas distant from the hematoma after ICH.

  • 3

    The frequency of R-DWI lesions in ICH patients varies between 11% and 50%, influenced by factors like cerebral small vessel disease.

  • 4

    Three main mechanisms for R-DWI lesions include vessel rupture, aggressive blood pressure lowering, and inflammatory processes.

  • 5

    R-DWI lesions may reflect underlying microvascular pathology, as some patients exhibit these lesions prior to ICH.
