Perinatal cortical infarction within middle cerebral artery trunks.
AIM To define neonatal pial middle cerebral artery infarction. METHODS A retrospective study was made of neonates in whom focal arterial infarction had been detected ultrasonographically. A detailed study was made of cortical middle cerebral artery infarction subtypes. RESULTS Forty infarctions, with the exception of those in a posterior cerebral artery, were detected ultrasonographically o...
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...

PURPOSE OF REVIEW This review will report on the new aspects of management of 'malignant' middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarctions. RECENT FINDINGS Large MCA infarctions have been associated with high death rates for years. The most reliable predictors of a 'malignant' course are hypodensity in more than 50% of the MCA territory on computed tomography as well as stroke volume greater than 145...
متن کاملManagement of Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction
Malignant middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarcts occur in a small subset of patients with ischaemic strokes and lead to high levels of disability and mortality. Over the last 10 years, surgical interventions, in the form of decompressive craniectomies, have become more popular. There is insufficient evidence to support current medical treatments including mannitol, glycerol, steroids, hypertonic...
متن کاملHemicraniectomy in Malignant Middle Cerebral Artery Infarction
The concept of decompressive surgery for treatment of elevated intracranial pressure has been developed already in the beginning of the 20th century.1 The rationale of this treatment modality consists of opening of the skull and removal of a bone flap to allow the edematous brain to swell outward, thereby preventing intracranial tissue shifts and life-threatening downward herniation. The use of...
