Epidemiological characteristics of lacunar infarcts in a population.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE This study evaluated the characteristics and natural history of patients with lacunar (small, deep) cerebral infarcts in a defined population for comparison of these characteristics to those in patients with nonlacunar infarcts. METHODS This is a population-based study in Rochester, Minnesota, from 1960 to 1984, that used the medical record-linkage system to identify an...
متن کاملTwo Types of Lacunar Infarcts
Background and Purpose—Earlier, we found that lacunar stroke patients with 1 asymptomatic lacunar infarcts on CT had leukoaraiosis and hypertension significantly more often than patients without such lesions, and we hypothesized that 2 types of small-vessel disease could be distinguished during life: arteriolosclerosis and microatheromatosis, respectively. Differences in prognosis might sustain...
متن کاملAre sensorimotor strokes lacunar strokes? A case-control study of lacunar and non-lacunar infarcts.
To determine whether sensorimotor strokes should be considered as lacunar syndromes 34 consecutive patients with first-ever ischaemic sensorimotor stroke were evaluated and compared with 103 patients with non-lacunar infarcts and another 88 patients with lacunar infarcts. Potential thromboembolic sources were more frequent in patients with non-lacunar infarcts (p = 0.003, versus sensorimotor st...
متن کاملLacunar versus non-lacunar infarcts: pathogenetic and prognostic differences.
To characterise the pathogenetic and prognostic features of lacunar infarcts, 88 patients with these infarcts were compared with 103 patients with non-lacunar infarcts. Potential cardioembolic sources were significantly more frequent among patients with non-lacunar infarcts (p = 0.0025). Although the prevalence of hypertension was higher among lacunar infarcts, this difference was not statistic...
متن کاملMR and CT of lacunar infarcts.
Twenty-two patients with clinical signs and symptoms compatible with lacunar transient ischemic attack or stroke of varying chronicity were evaluated with MR imaging. CT was also performed in 21 of these patients. MR revealed small, deep cerebral lesions in locations appropriate to the clinical symptoms in 19 patients. Lacunar infarcts were imaged by CT in 11 patients; however, no lesions were ...
