Abstract

Objective: To describe magnetic resonance imaging of posterior cerebral artery infarction Subjects and methods: A prospective, descriptive study of 68 patients with posterior cerebral artery infarction treated at the Department of Neurology, Bach Mai Hospital from March 2017 to March 2018. Results: Mean age was 64.79 ± 11.29, male/female ratio was 1.83. On CT scan normal brain parenchyma (58.8%), parenchyma hypodensity is supplied by the posterior cerebral artery (26.4%). There was no difference in injury rates between the two hemispheres. Infarction of the thalamus and occipital lobes was the highest (47.0%), and the temporal lobes (23.5%). MSCT showed major vessel occlusion (segments P1,P2,P3,P4) in 55.9%, 44.1% without major vessel lesions. The mean total infarct volume was 20.45 ± 19.08 cm3. The largest infarct volume is 61.6cm3, the smallest is 0.7cm3.
