Abstract

In 193 patients with acute ischemic stroke, early signs of cerebral ischemia on head computed tomography (CT), performed within 12 hours of symptoms onset, were evaluated to determine their relationship to the localization of infarction and admission neurological status. Initial CT was abnormal in 39,9 % of the patients. Glasgow coma score was < 6 in 25,9% of the patients with abnormal CT scan and in 59,2% of the patients with hyperdense middle cerebral artery sign. Clinical severity of neurological deficit at onset was well correlated to the early CT abnormalities. There was a significant correlation between the initial CT findings and localization of infarction, in every patient with available follow-up scans.

Özet

Bu çalışmada akut iskemik inmeli 193 hastanın ilk 12 saat içinde çekilen bilgisayarlı beyin tomografi (BT) bulguları ile bu bulguların infarkt lokalizasyonu ve hastaların başlangıçtaki nörolojik durumu ile ilişkisi değerlendirildi. Hastaların 39,9'unun erken evrede çekilen BT'sinde anormal bulgu saptandı. Erken evre BT'sinde anormal bulgu saptanan hastaların % 25,9'unun, Hiperdens Orta Serebral Arter Bulgusu olan hastaların ise % 59,2'sinin başvurudaki Glasgow Koma Skoru < 6 idi. Hastaların ilk başvurudaki nörolojik durumu ile erken evrede BT bulgusu varlığı arasında anlamlı ilişki saptandı. Erken evre BT bulgusu olan ve kontrol BT çekilebilen hastaların tümünde, bu bulgular ile kontrol BT'de görülen infarktm lokalizasyonu uyumlu idi.
