Multimodal CT provides improved performance for lacunar infarct detection.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Lacunar infarcts account for approximately 25% of acute ischemic strokes. Compared with NCCT alone, the addition of CTP improves sensitivity for detection of infarcts overall. Our aim was to systematically evaluate the diagnostic benefit and interobserver reliability of an incremental CT protocol in lacunar infarction. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board ap...
متن کاملArterioles of the lenticular nucleus in CADASIL.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) the arteriopathy leads to recurrent infarcts in cerebral white matter (WM) and deep gray matter (GM), whereas cortex is spared. To assess the pathogenesis of deep GM infarcts, we analyzed structural changes in arterioles of the lenticular nucleus (LN) in 6 CADASIL patie...
متن کاملClinical Correlates of Infarct Shape and Volume in Lacunar Strokes
The volume of acute ischemic infarcts has been shown to correlate with stroke severity and functional outcomes in all subtypes of ischemic stroke. In patients with lacunar stroke, infarct size in conjunction with infarct location has been proposed to distinguish this subtype from other forms of subcortical ischemic stroke. Most lacunar infarcts are caused by occlusion of the penetrating small v...
متن کاملQuantitative Sensory Thermal Testing in Patients With Lacunar Infarct Syndromes
Background and Purpose Quantitative data on sensory impairment in stroke patients are limited. We measured the perception thresholds for temperature and thermal pain in patients with different lacunar syndromes, correlated the results with clinical and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and studied the long-term prognosis of sensory dysfunction. Methods Quantitative thermal testing was ...
متن کاملLacunar syndromes due to brainstem infarct and haemorrhage.
Nine patients with brainstem infarct and two with brainstem haemorrhage presented with pure motor stroke, pure supranuclear facial palsy, sensorimotor stroke or ataxic hemiparesis. Despite the clinical similarity with hemispheric lacunes, brainstem infarcts causing lacunar syndromes probably have a greater tendency to progress. Small brainstem haemorrhages should also be considered as a cause o...
