MRI pontine hyperintensity after supratentorial ischemic stroke relates to poor clinical outcome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE MRI studies in patients with atherosclerosis often reveal ill-defined hyperintensity in the pons on T2-weighted images. This pontine hyperintensity (PHI) does not fulfill the criteria of a brain infarct, and its clinical relevance is not established. We examined the frequency, as well as the radiological and clinical correlates, of PHI in poststroke patients. METHODS Th...
متن کاملExtent of pontine pyramidal tract Wallerian degeneration and outcome after supratentorial hemorrhagic stroke.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pyramidal tract Wallerian degeneration has been detected on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as T2-weighted high-intensity areas. We analyzed the relation between the extent of brain stem Wallerian degeneration and activities of daily living (ADL) after supratentorial hemorrhagic stroke. METHODS Twenty-six patients with supratentorial hemorrhage were examined on the cor...
متن کاملElevated Homocysteine Level Related to Poor Outcome After Thrombolysis in Acute Ischemic Stroke
BACKGROUND Hyperhomocysteinemia (HHcy) is a well-known risk factor for ischemic stroke. However, whether HHcy can influence the treatment outcome of acute ischemic stroke (AIS) patients has yet to be fully determined. In this study, we investigated the relationship between serum homocysteine (Hcy) level and prognosis in AIS patients who received tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) treatment. MAT...
متن کاملCan Early Ischemic Lesion Recurrence on Diffusion-Weighted MRI Affect Functional Outcome after Acute Ischemic Stroke?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Ischemic lesion recurrence on diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI-LR) is a frequently observed phenomenon after acute ischemic stroke. However, no study has elucidated the impact of DWI-LR on functional outcome. METHODS Among a consecutive series of patients who presented with focal symptoms or signs compatible with stroke within 48 hours from the onset over a 50-month peri...
متن کاملPoor outcome after first-ever stroke.
Poor Outcome After First-Ever Stroke To the Editor: The authors of this study1 have highlighted the significance of cardiac disease, particularly cardiac failure (CF) and atrial fibrillation (AF), to be an independent risk factor for stroke mortality at 1 year. AF has attracted attention for several years, but the variable of cardiac failure has only recently been reported as a significant fact...
