Description
Jayden Ray and five co-authors present a 2026 case of dark staining spread across the brain's surface membranes in a young man. The patient, aged twenty-two with high blood pressure, arrived after repeated bleeds around the brain and seizures. Scans first mimicked a surface bleed, then showed bright signal and strong membrane enhancement along the grooves, the brainstem, and the nerves.
Surgeons opened the skull for a biopsy and found the brain's surface dark and tar-like to the eye. Tissue reads showed a spreading growth of pigmented melanocyte cells with marked atypia and rare division figures. The authors share the case, slide images included, as a study in how this rare membrane disease can masquerade as bleeding.
