Image: The images show magnetic resonance (MR) slices through the brains of two mountaineers. The image on the left is from a mountaineer who climbed to altitudes above 7,000 meters, and the one on the right is from a mountaineer who survived a high altitude cerebral edema (HACE). The arrows point to the corpus callosum. This part of the corpus callosum is normal in the left image, whereas in the right image (HACE survivor) it shows black spots representing multiple small hemorrhages (microhemorrhages) (Photo courtesy of RSNA/Dr. Knauth et al, University Hospital Gottingen).

High Altitude Climbers at Risk for Brain Hemorrhage

New MRI research has demonstrated that mountain climbers who experience a specific type of high-altitude illness called high altitude cerebral edema have evidence of brain bleeding years after the initial incident. More...
