Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Acute Ischemic Stroke Treatment
Although intravenous administration of tissue plasminogen activator is the only proven treatment after acute ischemic stroke, there is always a concern of hemorrhagic risk after thrombolysis. Therefore, selection of patients with potential benefits in overcoming potential harms of thrombolysis is of great importance. Despite the practical issues in using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for acu...
متن کاملThe role of magnetic resonance imaging for acute ischemic stroke.
BACKGROUND Although computed tomography (CT) is still considered to be the gold standard of brain imaging before thrombolysis, new reperfusion strategies in acute ischemic stroke lead to more extensive use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). METHODS AND RESULTS Diffusion- (DWI) and perfusion-weighted (PWI) MRI with MRI angiography are considered the most important examinations in diagnosis o...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance imaging in brainstem ischemic stroke.
To evaluate the efficacy of magnetic resonance imaging in brainstem stroke, we studied 21 cases of clinically definite brainstem ischemic stroke with brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional computed tomography (CT). MRI demonstrated brainstem lesions in 79% of the cases (16.5 out of 21), while CT revealed 33% (7 out of 21) when cases with suspicious lesions counted as 0.5. Altho...
متن کاملdysphagia in acute ischemic stroke
Introduction: Swallowing dysfunction complicates acute strokes in 25-32% of cases and directly affects patientschr('39') prognosis and recovery. Dysphagia complicates the course of acute strokes through its potential of the development of chest infection, nutritional problems, and dehydration. Dysphagia is also an independent predictor of respiratory morbidity and mortality in acute stroke. In...
