Measurements of acute cerebral infarction: lesion size by computed tomography.
As part of a prospective therapy study of 65 patients with acute, nonhemorrhagic, cerebral infarction, computed tomographic scans of the head were obtained at admission, 7-10 days, and 3 months. The scans were analyzed for the presence, site, size, and volume measurement of the infarction. At 7-10 days, the mean infarction volume as measured by computed tomography was 55 cm3 or about 4 x 4 x 3....
متن کاملPrediction of malignant middle cerebral artery infarction using computed tomography-based intracranial volume reserve measurements.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Early decompressive surgery in patients with malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarction improves outcome. Elevation of intracranial pressure depends on both the space occupying brain edema and the intracranial volume reserve (cerebrospinal fluid [CSF]). However, CSF volume was not investigated as a predictor of malignant infarction so far. We hypothesize that asses...
متن کاملSixteen-slice computed tomography after acute myocardial infarction: from perfusion defect to the culprit lesion.
A58-year-old man without a prior medical history was admitted for acute chest pain associated with ST depression in leads Vl, V5, V6, and D1 with elevated serum levels of troponin and creatine kinase (peak creatine kinase level, 487 IU). A moderate-sized non–Q-wave myocardial infarction was diagnosed, and initial medical treatment included -blockers, aspirin, and heparin. A 16-slice CT scan was...
متن کاملThe Frequency of Cerebral Microembolism in Acute Myocardial Infarction
ABSTRACT Introduction: Stroke is more common in patients with cerebral microembolisms. Frequency of cerebral microembolisms (high intensity transient signals, HITS) in acute myocardial infarction has been reported about 17%. The factors that influence on microembolism after myocardial infarction (MI) are not definitive. Type of MI, Ejection fraction, Hx of Streptokinase is the factors that were...
متن کاملEffect of Intravenous Recombinant Tissue Plasminogen Activator on Ischemic Stroke Lesion Size Measured by Computed Tomography
Background and Purpose—When given within 3 hours of symptom onset, recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rtPA) improves outcome 3 months after ischemic stroke. Prespecified secondary end points of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) rt-PA Stroke Trial were CT lesion volumes in the 2 treatment groups (tPA and placebo) at 24 hours, 7 to 10 days, and 3 months af...
