In 5.4% (n=70) of the cases, there were hypodense areas on CCT and in 11.1% (n=145), DW-MRI revealed signs of ischemic stroke, while 82.9% of patients with hypodense area on CCT showed ischemic stroke on DW-MRI (p=0.001) Conclusion: Especially in patients with a speech disorder, impaired consciousness, numbness and weakness in one half of their bodies, performing a DW-MRI at the first appropriate time and initiation of diagnosis and treatment faster and more accurately are thought to be important steps in reducing and even preventing mortality and morbid outcomes in emergency departments.

Abstract

Objective: Ischemic stroke is one of the most common causes of disability and death worldwide. Our aim in this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of DW-MRI in patients with ischemic stroke who were admitted to the emergency department., and to emphasize the necessity and importance of imaging modalities. Method: The study was performed retrospectively between 05.01.2018 and 06.31.2018 in Adult Emergency Department of our hospital. A total of 1303 patients who underwent diffuse magnetic resonance imaging in the emergency department were included in the study. Age, sex, complaints on admission of the patients, whether computed tomography revealed hypodensity, and DW-MRI showed signs of ischemic stroke were also recorded. Results: A total of 1303 patients including 745 female (57.2%) , and 558 (42.8%) male cases were enrolled in our study. The mean. age of the patients (range; 11-95) was 54.29±18.73 years. In 5.4% (n=70) of the cases, there were hypodense areas on CCT and in 11.1% (n=145), DW-MRI revealed signs of ischemic stroke, while 82.9% of patients with hypodense area on CCT showed ischemic stroke on DW-MRI (p=0.001) Conclusion: Especially in patients with a speech disorder, impaired consciousness, numbness and weakness in one half of their bodies, performing a DW-MRI at the first appropriate time and initiation of diagnosis and treatment faster and more accurately are thought to be important steps in reducing and even preventing mortality and morbid outcomes in emergency departments.

Özet

Amaç: İskemik inme, dünya genelinde engelliliğe ve ölüme en sık neden olan hastalıklar içinde yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada amacımız; acil servise başvuran hastalarda D-MRG çekilen hastaları inceleyerek, yapılan görüntüleme yöntemlerinin gerekliliğini ve önemini vurgulamaktır. Yöntem: Çalışma 01.05.2018-31.06.2018 tarihleri arasında hastanemiz Erişkin Acil Servisinde retrospektif olarak gerçekleştirildi. Çalışmaya acil serviste difüzyon manyetik rezonans görüntüleme istenmiş 1303 hasta dahil edildi. Hastalara ait yaş, cinsiyet, başvuru şikâyetleri, bilgisayarlı tomografilerinde hipodens alan olup olmadığı ve D-MRG’de iskemik inme bulgularının olup olmadığı kaydedildi. Bulgular: Çalışmamıza toplam 1303 hasta alınmış olup, 745’i kadın (%57,2), 558’i erkek (%42,8) idi. Hastaların ortalama yaşı (sınır; 11-95) 54,29±18,73 yıl idi. Olguların %5,4’ünde (n=70) BT’de hipodens alan ve %11,1’inde (n=145) D-MRG’de iskemik inme bulguları saptandı. BT’de hipodens alanı olan hastaların %82,9’unda D-MRG’de de iskemik inme bulgularının olduğu görüldü (p=0.001). Sonuç: Özellikle konuşma ve bilinç bozukluğu, vücut yarımında uyuşma ve güçsüzlük olan hastalarda D-MRG tetkikinin uygun olan ilk anda yapılmasının, tanı ve tedavinin daha hızlı ve daha doğru bir şekilde başlatılması ile acil servislerde mortal ve morbid sonuçları azaltma ve hatta önlemede önemli bir adım olduğu düşünülmektedir.
