A hemorrhagic infarct is determined when hemorrhage is present around an area of infarction. Simply stated, an infarction is an area of dead tissue or necrosis.[1] When blood escapes outside of the vessel (extravasation) and re-perfuses back into the tissue surrounding the infarction, the infarction is then termed a hemorrhagic infarct (infarction).[1] Hemorrhagic infarcts can occur in any region of the body, such as the head, trunk and abdomen-pelvic regions, typically arising from their arterial blood supply being interrupted by a blockage or compression of an artery.
