Cerebral white matter hyperintensities (WMH) and cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) are frequently seen on brain imaging acquired for acute ischemic stroke. Given the raising use of recanalization therapies - both intravenous and endovascular - the interest on the impact of WMH and CMBs on the risk of intracerebral hemorrhage and on functional outcome is growing. In this review, we will discuss the relevance of WMH and CMBs among patients with an acute ischemic stroke, focusing on the implications for recanalization therapies.
