Cerebral Infarction - Complications
Research News and Information
Definition of 'Cerebral Infarction'The formation of an area of NECROSIS in the CEREBRUM caused by an insufficiency of arterial or venous blood flow. Infarcts of the cerebrum are generally classified by hemisphere (i.e., left vs. right), lobe (e.g., frontal lobe infarction), arterial distribution (e.g., INFARCTION, ANTERIOR CEREBRAL ARTERY), and etiology (e.g., embolic infarction). Common names: Cerebral Infarction; Cerebral Infarctions; Infarctions, Cerebral; Infarction, Cerebral; Subcortical Infarction; Infarction, Subcortical; Infarctions, Subcortical; Subcortical Infarctions; Cerebral Infarction, Right Hemisphere; Infarction, Right Hemisphere, Cerebral |

Post-stroke depression: can we predict its development from the acute stroke phase?
30 Aug 2009 
OBJECTIVES: To identify possible predictive factors for post-stroke depression (PSD) in the acute phase of stroke. METHODS: The study design was prospective, observational cohort study of patients with acute cerebral infarction (CI). Neurological ... Read more...
27 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: Cerebral microbleeds (CMBs) were found in patients with and without hypertension. We aimed to investigate different distribution patterns of CMBs in patients with and without hypertension. METHODS: We examined acute ischemic stroke ... Read more...
Aug 2009 An 86-year-old, right-handed, hypertensive man suddenly experienced blurring of vision predominating in the left visual field. Neurological examinations were normal, except for left homonymous hemianopsia. Goldmann visual field testing revealed a ... Read more...
