Abstract

To determine the frequency, location, size, and risk factors for silent cerebral infarctions (SCIs) on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), we identified 96 healthy subjects. On the baseline MRI, 26 subjects (26.4%) had SCIs; 66.6 % of the lesions were in the right hemisphere, 16.7% in the left hemisphere, and 16.7% were bilateral. The average size of lesions was 15±10mm. Subjects with SCI were compared with subjects without SCI for each risk factor. On univariate analysis, the only demographic variable associated with an increased frequency of SCI was age. Other risk factors were not related to the presence of SCI. Cortical atrophy and periventricular hyperintensity were usually associated with SCI but it's not statistically significant

Özet

Nörolojik hastalığı olmayan, sosyal olarak aktif 96 bireyde, kranial manyetik rezonans görüntülemede sessiz enfarkt sıklığı, yerleşimi, boyutu ve gelişmesinde etkili olabilecek risk faktörleri araştırılmıştır. 26 bireyde (%26,4) sessiz enfarkt saptanmıştır, lezyonların % 66.6'sı sağ hemisferde, %16.7'si sol hemisferde, %16.7'si iki hemisferde de yerleşmiştir. Lezyonların ortalama boyutu 15$pm$10 mm. dir. Sessiz enfarkt saptanan bireyler, saptanmayan bireylerle herbir risk faktörü açısından karşılaştmlmışlardır. Risk faktörleri içinde sadece yaş, sessiz enfarkt gelişiminde etkili risk faktörü olarak dikkat çekmiştir. Kortikal atrofı ve periventriküler hiperintensite, sessiz enfarkt ile sıklıkla birlikte olmakla beraber, bu birliktelik istatistiki olarak anlamlı düzeyde bulunmamıştır.
