Etiology, prognosis, and hemostatic function after cerebral infarction in young adults.
We retrospectively evaluated 66 patients younger than 40 years of age who presented with acute nonhemorrhagic cerebral infarction (n = 63) or transient ischemic attacks (n = 3) to determine the possible etiology and long-term outcome at a mean follow-up interval of 3 years after initial presentation. A probable cause for the stroke was identified in 24 patients (36%); this group included one wo...
متن کاملStroke etiology is associated with outcome in posterior circulation stroke
OBJECTIVE Stroke research and clinical trials have focused mainly on anterior circulation stroke (ACS). Since clinical characteristics, mechanisms, and outcomes of posterior circulation stroke (PCS) have been reported different from ACS, more PCS studies are required, particularly researching the etiologies, to help establish an optimal management strategy. METHODS The present study analyzed ...
متن کاملPosterior cerebral artery infarction from middle cerebral artery infarction.
BACKGROUND While it is known that posterior cerebral artery (PCA) infarction may simulate middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction, the frequency and localization of this occurrence are unknown. OBJECTIVE To determine the frequency of PCA infarction mimicking MCA infarction and the territory of the PCA most commonly involved in this simulation. DESIGN We studied 202 patients with isolated in...
متن کاملTransient mutism due to posterior circulation infarction.
Sir, Verbal mutism is described as the speechless state in a cognitively alert patient, without buccolingual apraxia. It has been a well-documented complication of resective surgery for posterior fossa tumors, especially in children. 1,2 However, there are only few reports of posterior fossa mutism that are not due to neuro-trauma or neuro-surgical trauma. 3-5 We report the case of transient mu...
متن کاملCerebral Infarction: Diagnosis and Assessment of Prognosis
A multicenter prospective study was performed in 49 patients with 77 regions of cerebral infarction. Each patient was evaluated in the acute (0-5 days) and subacute (6-17 days) phases by (1) clinical neurologic examination, (2) CT scans, and (3) Nisopropyl-p-1-iodoamphetamine ('IMP) single-photon emission CT (SPECT) scans. The abilities of the scans to (1) detect a lesion and (2) predict the cl...
