Blooming artifact (hemosiderin) is noted in the left caudothalamic groove (head CT scan done earlier in the day did not demonstrate any calcification).
Case Discussion
Caudothalamic hemorrhage is a well-known complication of prematurity. Incidental hemorrhages are sometimes incidentally seen in full-term infants when head MRI scans are done for other reasons.
