Neonatal cerebral infarction diagnosed by diffusion-weighted MRI: pseudonormalization occurs early.
BACKGROUND Seizures in the neonatal period may be the single symptom of acute ischemic cerebral infarction. It may be difficult to establish the diagnosis in the acute phase by the use of ultrasound, CT, and conventional MRI because of the high water content of the immature brain. Diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI is a very sensitive and fast imaging modality to visualize acute ischemic stroke in inf...
متن کاملDiffusion-weighted MRI in acute subcortical infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Conventional imaging lacks sensitivity and specificity for the detection of early subcortical cerebral infarction. The purposes of our study were (1) to determine the accuracy of diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI for early subcortical infarction and (2) to determine the efficacy of DW MRI for differentiating acute from nonacute subcortical infarctions when conventional MR demon...
متن کاملDiffusion Weighted MRI Patterns Caused by Acute Border Zone Infarction
nisms contributing to acute border zone infarctions. These include hemodynamic factors, embolic factors or both (1-6), and were determined by a transcranial Doppler (TCD) study and autopsies (7, 8). Before the era of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a computed tomography (CT) was the only method for diagnosing infarctions; however, due to limited resolution, subtle lesions caused by disseminat...
متن کاملPosterior cerebral artery infarction: diffusion-weighted MRI analysis of 205 patients.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although cardiac embolism has been shown to be the leading stroke mechanism of posterior cerebral artery (PCA) territory infarction, intrinsic PCA atherosclerotic disease may play a more important role in regions where intracranial diseases are prevalent. We aimed to assess the etiologies and stroke pattern of PCA territory infarction in a Korean population. METHOD We r...
متن کاملClinical presentation and diffusion weighted MRI of acute cerebral infarction. The Bergen Stroke Study
BACKGROUND No large study has compared the yield of diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) with clinical examination in order to differentiate lacunar stroke from other stroke subtypes. This differentiation is important for guiding further investigations and treatment. METHODS Consecutive patients admitted with cerebral infarction were classified according to the Oxfordshire Community Stroke Projec...
